Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450 g peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes fresh or canned
  • ½ cup dry white wine Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or any crisp white you can skip that part, but highly recommended.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 –4 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter optional — adds richness and a silky texture
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • A pinch of chili flakes optional
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • A squeeze of lemon juice to finish

Method
 

Sauté the garlic, Add the tomatoes.
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 20–30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
  2. Stir in the diced tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and let them simmer for 5–7 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
  3. As the tomatoes soften, you can remove any loose pieces of tomato skin for a smoother texture.
Deglaze with wine.
  1. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the flavors to blend beautifully into the sauce.
Add the shrimp.
  1. Place the shrimp into the sauce and cook for 3–5 minutes, just until they turn pink and opaque. Stir in the butter at the end for extra richness and a silky finish.
Garnish & serve.
  1. Finish with fresh parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a touch of freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately with warm crusty bread, pasta, or rice to enjoy every drop of the flavorful sauce.
