Heat olive oil in a large skillet until hot, using a piece of garlic to test the oil's readiness.

Add minced garlic to the hot oil and immediately add the frozen shrimp to prevent the garlic from overcooking.

Mix shrimp and garlic together, lowering the heat to medium to coat the shrimp in oil and garlic.

Add lemon juice to the skillet, coating all the shrimp.

Increase heat back to high and add salt to taste.

Add red pepper flakes to the shrimp, adjusting the amount based on desired spiciness.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer for 5 minutes to heat the shrimp and meld the flavors.

Taste the broth for saltiness and adjust if necessary.

Serve the shrimp with bread for dipping.
