Ingredients
- •Oil, Sun-Dried Tomato Infused(20g)
- •Shrimp(454g)
- •Garlic(15g)
- •Tomatoes, Sun-Dried, Packed In Oil(99g)
- •Tomato, Cherry(240g)
- •3/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- •Red pepper flakes(5g)
- •Basil, Fresh(30g)
Instructions
- 1Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Mince the fresh garlic and tear the fresh basil into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- 2Heat 2 teaspoons of the sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add the shrimp and cook 1–2 minutes per side over medium-high heat until opaque and firm to the touch with no translucent centers—do not overcook or they will become rubbery. Transfer each batch to a clean plate.
- 3Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of sun-dried tomato oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds over medium-high heat until fragrant, stirring constantly.
- 4Add the sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherry tomatoes begin to soften and break down slightly.
- 5Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook 1–2 minutes over medium heat until the shrimp are heated through.
- 6Remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil until evenly distributed.
- 7Divide the shrimp mixture evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
- 8Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes before serving over your choice of pasta, rice, cauliflower rice, or vegetables.
