Garlicky Shrimp with Tomatoes & White Wine

Garlicky Shrimp with Tomatoes & White Wine

(4 servings)

Ingredients:

3 tbsp. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

4 cloves Fresh Garlic, thinly sliced

2 medium Shallots, thinly sliced crosswise

1 pt. Grape Tomatoes, halved lengthwise

1 lb. Large Shrimp, peeled, deveined & tails removed

½ tsp. Crushed Red Pepper

3 tsp. fresh/1 tsp. dry Thyme leaves

¼ tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Black Pepper

1 cup Dry White Wine

4 cups Cooked Rice or 12 oz. Cooked Pasta of Choice

Directions:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil.  Add the garlic and shallots and sauté about 1 minute.  Next add the tomatoes and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until they begin to soften.  Now add shrimp, red pepper and thyme.  Stirring occasionally, cook about 3 minutes or until shrimp is pink.  Mix in salt, pepper and wine bringing to a boil.  Reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is reduced by half.  This should take around 3 minutes.  Serve over rice or pasta.

Note:               I would use something in the range of 24 to 36 shrimp per pound for this recipe.  You could use larger shrimp and leave the tails too for a different look.
