How to Make Garlic Basil Shrimp
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Add 1 pound of shrimp and sauté, turning once, until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste) to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in 1/4 cup dry white wine and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until slightly reduced.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and season the sauce generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Return the shrimp to the pan and cook just until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread for dipping.
