First, choose a large skillet or pan and add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Peel and thinly slice the garlic, then add it to the pan. Turn on the heat and cook the garlic, making sure it doesn't burn. After about a minute, add the peeled shrimp.

Lower the heat and cook until the shrimp are done and the sauce has reduced to your liking. Add the mint leaves during the last few minutes to release their flavor.
