Garlic Shrimp with Burst Cherry Tomatoes

How to make it

1. 1

   First, pat your shrimp dry with a paper towel. This helps them get a lovely sear.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the sliced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but do not let it brown.

3. 3

   Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until many of them have burst and released their juices.

4. 4

   Now, add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. They cook very quickly.

5. 5

   Stir in the fresh chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
