Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups grape tomatoes (halved)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cups dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 pound cooked pasta or crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the grape tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.
Push the tomatoes to one side of the skillet and add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side without disturbing, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the lemon juice and butter. Allow the butter to melt into the sauce, creating a silky consistency.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the dish and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately with cooked pasta or slices of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
