Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of white wine to the pan after the garlic. Allow it to reduce slightly before adding the shrimp.
Shell-on shrimp are recommended for maximum flavor and juiciness, but feel free to use peeled shrimp for convenience.
Serve these spicy shrimp over linguine or rice, or alongside a crisp green salad and crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness. Start with less and add more to taste.
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. They are done when they are pink and opaque.
