Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (grated, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to deepen in flavor.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and begin to break down.
If using, deglaze the skillet with white wine and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
Stir in the fresh basil and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with grated parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve the shrimp and tomato mixture over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread, if desired.
