Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups White wine (optional)
- 1 Lemon (juiced)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat dry with paper towels, and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they begin to turn pink, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked.
If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to deglaze the pan and add flavor.
Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped basil and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Serve immediately as is or over pasta, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
