Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the 8 ounces of pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water and then drain the pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).
Add the 1 pound of peeled shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Once the shrimp are cooked, add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time if needed to loosen up the sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes as desired. Serve hot, garnished with extra red pepper flakes if desired.
