Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 1 to 1½ minutes, until the undersides are pink and opaque. Flip with tongs and cook for 30 to 60 seconds more, until the shrimp are opaque throughout and reach 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to a plate.
