Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, and season them with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down.
Pour in the white wine and deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chicken or vegetable stock, thyme, and the remaining salt and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the shrimp through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley.
Serve the shrimp and sauce over a bed of cooked white or brown rice, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
