Good ol' Chef John has a solution right here [this video] . Basically, you want to enclose your garlic in some kind of container that lets them move around fairly easily. He uses two bowls, a commenter suggests a jar, I suppose it depends on the number of garlic cloves you want to peel. Close the container then start shaking away, maybe for 20-30 seconds or longer once you get the hang of how long this method takes for your chosen clove count.

My question is why use preserved garlic when fresh garlic is so easy to get and store in the fridge? It's simple to peel: [this video] and then you can smash the cloves with a large knife, then minced the smashed garlic. It's so much better when it's fresh.
