How to Make Skillet Shrimp And Tomatoes

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. (Test kitchen tip: The oil is hot enough when a drop of water sizzles immediately upon contact.)
  2. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
  3. Season shrimp generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Add half of the shrimp to the skillet, tilting the pan away from you to prevent splattering.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque throughout. Transfer to a plate.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining shrimp and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  7. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  8. Stir in halved cherry or grape tomatoes.
  9. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
  10. Season with salt to taste.
  11. Return the cooked shrimp and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
  12. Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice.
  13. Toss gently to coat everything in the delicious sauce.
  14. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, rice, or a bed of spinach.
