In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp olive oil until smooth. Add water 1 tbsp at a time, whisking until the sauce is pourable and coats the back of a spoon. Set aside.

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 1–2 minutes. Watch closely, as the garlic can brown quickly.
