Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with ½ tsp kosher salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 1½–2 minutes, until the undersides are pink and opaque. Flip and cook 1 minute more, until the shrimp are pink and opaque throughout and reach 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
