Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes until shimmering but not smoking.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
