Add olive oil to a pan over medium-high heat and swirl it around.

Mince the garlic by whacking the cloves to loosen the skin, cutting slits in the clove, and then chopping it finely.

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant and barely starting to brown.

Add the shrimp to the pan, spreading it out into a single layer and cooking undisturbed until cooked about a third of the way through.

Flip the shrimp using tongs or by tossing the pan to avoid overcooking.

Add crushed red pepper and toss the shrimp a few more times.

Mix together dry white wine, honey, and salt in a bowl until the honey is dissolved, then add this sauce to the shrimp.

Increase the heat to burn off excess liquid until the sauce forms a thick shiny glaze.

Plate the shrimp and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices.
