1 1/4 pounds large shrimp (20 to 25 per pound), peeled & deveined
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes, or more to taste
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot, then saute shrimp, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
Add garlic & red pepper flakes to the oil remaining in skillet & cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add wine & cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in basil & tomatoes & season the sauce with salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Return the shrimp to pan & cook just until heated through.
{My Thoughts}
This is just too easy, a really nice non-fuss meal or even appetizer. If you don't have wine on hand or don't drink check out this link here for substitutes. See bottom of page for wine.
