Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 units lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
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 let it burn.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and cumin.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink. Flip them over and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the lime juice and red pepper flakes. Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the tomato lime sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the shrimp are heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!
