In a small bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, half the salt, half the pepper, the lemon zest, half the lemon juice, and most of the parsley. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Heat half the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and season with the remaining salt, pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, flip, and cook for 1 minute more. Done when pink and curled into a loose C, 145°F.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant and pale gold. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining lemon juice.
Spread the seasoned cottage cheese onto a plate. Top with the garlic shrimp and any pan juices. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top and garnish with the rest of the parsley.
