Description

This dish features shrimp cooked in a flavorful wine and garlic broth, complemented by cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs, perfect for serving over rice or with crusty bread.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 16 oz of fresh or frozen shrimp
  • 1 pound carton of cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  5. Add tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour in white wine and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer.
  7. Return shrimp to the skillet and toss with the tomatoes and sauce.

Defrost shrimp in the fridge overnight if using frozen. Serve with steamed white rice or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Fresh herbs like parsley and basil add vibrant flavor. Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
