Ingredients

  • 2 pounds medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
  • salt
  • cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the garlic in the olive oil until just golden, approximately 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Add the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and cayenne pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
  2. Season the shrimp with salt and add to the tomatoes. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until no longer pink. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter for added richness, if desired.
