This 25-minute recipe is ideal for busy nights, offering the flexibility to serve it warm for a comforting main course or chilled as a refreshing appetizer. Packed with fresh produce and bold Mediterranean flavors, Gazpacho Shrimp Sauté is a healthy, flavor-packed delight that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious.
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season them lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the cooked shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for 3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain their freshness.
Stir in the smoked paprika, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well with the vegetables.
Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve warm as a light main course or chilled as a refreshing tapas-style dish. Enjoy!
