Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
  • Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
  • Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP WITH SUNDRIED TOMATOES AND BASIL RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Creamy Garlic Shrimp with Sundried Tomatoes and Basil Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by PineyCook

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
6 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 pound shrimp or prawns, peeled, tails on or off
1 small yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup white wine, optional
5 ounces jarred sun-dried tomato strips in oil, drained
1 3/4 cups half and half
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup basil leaves, chopped, or 1 tablespoon dried basil
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, fresh grated
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoons of milk, optional
2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Using a large skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat and add in the garlic and sauté for about a minute or until the garlic becomes fragrant. Add your shrimp and sauté on both sides until just cooked through and pink, around two minutes per side. Make sure to not over cook the shrimp or it will become rubbery. Scoop the shrimp out with a slotted spoon into a bowl and set aside. Add the diced onions to the large skillet and fry until translucent. Add the white wine and allow to reduce a little. Now add your sun-dried tomatoes and saute another couple of minutes or so to release their flavors. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the half-and-half. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the parmesan cheese and give it a little stir. To make the sauce thicker, add the milk and cornstarch mixture to the center of sauce and quickly stir through until desired thickness is reached. Add the bowl of shrimp back into the pan and mix thoroughly. Stir in the basil and other herbs. Serve over veggies, pasta, rice or couscous.

GARLIC SHRIMP WITH BASIL & TOMATOES



Garlic Shrimp With Basil & Tomatoes image

I adapted this from Food Network last summer. We like more garlic, tomatoes & basil than the original; and we quickly saute the shrimp & garlic in a pan. It's very good over pasta or even rice, but we usually serve it with crostini. Topping the bread (or crostini) with some of the tomato/basil mixture makes it even better. It's quick, has lots of flavor, even with supermarket tomatoes & basil in the middle of winter. I also found 2 servings to be more realistic than the recommended 4; shrimp are pretty low calorie, and even with the crostini, it's a pretty low kcal meal.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the shrimp will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan. This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
  • Add the sundried tomatoes and basil at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve their flavor.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

This creamy garlic shrimp with sundried tomatoes and basil is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. The creamy garlic sauce is rich and decadent, while the sundried tomatoes and basil add a touch of brightness and freshness.
