Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.

Step 8

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or alongside crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
