Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 lemon (cut into wedges, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and oregano. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Push the tomatoes to one side of the skillet and add the shrimp to the other side in a single layer. Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side, or until pink and fully cooked through.
Stir the shrimp and tomato mixture together, ensuring they are evenly combined.
Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and remove from heat.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish. This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, rice, or pasta.
