Recipe of the WeekEnjoy this delicious recipe of the week!

Category:entrees
Yields:4 servings
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup quartered cherry or grape tomatoes (about 12)
5 large fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus extra for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds medium-large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
DIRECTIONS:
1 In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
2 Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
3 Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
4 Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
5 Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan.
6 Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper.
7 Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high.
8 Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once.
9 Sauté the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes.
10 Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan.
11 Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs.
12 Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans.
13 Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine.
14 Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.
