ONE-PAN GARLIC SHRIMP WITH TOMATO AND HERBS

A delightful vacation-inspired one-pan shrimp dish that combines juicy shrimp, roasted tomato puree, garlic, fresh herbs, and butter. Perfectly paired with toasted bread and a glass of Prosecco, this recipe is easy to prepare and bursting with Mediterranean flavors.

πŸ•’ Prep Time: 10 min

🍳 Cook Time: 15 min
🍰 Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 500 g raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 50 g butter + extra for spreading on bread
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 medium ripe tomato
  • ΒΌ bunch fresh parsley, chopped
  • 10 large fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 8 slices baguette (or 3 slices rustic bread)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels, season with salt, and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  2. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice.
  3. Slice tomato into moderately thick slices to hold shape when cooked. Lightly oil both sides.
  4. Heat a large skillet (about 20–26 cm diameter) over medium-high heat. Place bread butter-side down and toast for 1–2 minutes until golden.
  5. Add tomato slices to skillet and cook 2 minutes per side. Remove tomatoes to a bowl, peel off skin (it should come off easily), and mash with a fork. Discard any tough parts near the core. Season with a pinch of salt.
  6. Wipe skillet clean if tomato juices have caramelized on the bottom.
  7. Cook shrimp in batches without overcrowding, about 2 minutes per side, until pink and lightly browned.
  8. Return all shrimp to the skillet and remove from heat. If skillet is very hot, let it cool slightly for 1 minute.
  9. Add butter and swirl skillet to melt and coat shrimp. Immediately add lemon juice, return skillet to heat, and bring to a gentle boil.
  10. Stir in mashed tomatoes and chopped parsley. Simmer together until sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
  11. Add crushed garlic and chopped basil, cooking for another minute. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
  12. Serve immediately with toasted bread.
