Shrimp cooked in garlic and olive oil

I looked through the archives to see if I had ever posted this recipe and it doesn't look like I did. Which totally surprises me, because this is a go-to recipe in our house, very quick and really tasty.

1 lb. shrimp (or more, if you like)
2 c. olive oil (or enough to cover the shrimp, it might take close to 3 c., I just eyeball it)
5-6 cloves garlic, smashed
2-3 shallots, sliced thickly (don't spend a lot of time on the shallots, just break them up a little)
Half an onion, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes if you're feeling feisty

Put the shrimp in a large bowl. Add everything else, stir to combine, let marinate for 30 minutes.
(You can skip this step if you don't have time. We sometimes do, and it turns out perfectly fine)
Heat deep skillet over medium heat. Add everything in the bowl, cook until shrimp is done.

And that's it. It's super easy, and really good. We usually eat this with some bread on the side, to dunk in the garlicky olive oil.
