Spiced Ginger Shrimp With Burst Tomatoes image

This speedy, buttery, one-pan meal stars plump, spiced shrimp zipped up with grated fresh ginger, and sweetened with ripe Sungold tomatoes that burst in the skillet. You can use any aromatic spice mix you have on hand here, which makes it a highly convenient meal as well. Serve this over rice or with crusty bread for mopping up all those rich, jammy tomatoes.

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

About 1 1/2 teaspoons aromatic spice blend, such as garam masala, Baharat, five-spice, curry powder, or a mild chili powder blend (see Note), plus more to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced or finely grated
3 scallions, thinly sliced, greens and whites separated
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound extra-large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup small (or halved large) cherry tomatoes, preferably yellow Sungold tomatoes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, torn or roughly chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine spice blend, ginger, garlic, scallion whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add shrimp and toss well. Heat a large skillet over high heat, then add the oil. Add the tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the whole tomatoes burst and the halved ones start to wrinkle, about 2 minutes.
  • Add shrimp mixture and sauté for another 2 to 4 minutes, turning the shrimp, until they are pink all over.
  • Gently stir in butter and cook for another minute, until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove from heat and add a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Taste and add more salt and spices, if needed. Garnish with mint and scallion greens and serve immediately.

I made this dish for my friends who are vegan. I used tofu instead of shrimp, and it turned out great. They loved it!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp that I had cooked the night before, and this dish was the perfect way to use them up.

I served this dish over rice, but I think it would also be good served over pasta or quinoa.

I added some chopped green onions to the dish for a bit of extra flavor. It was a great addition.

I didn't have any white wine, so I used chicken broth instead. The dish still turned out great.

I had some trouble finding burst tomatoes, so I used regular tomatoes instead. The dish still turned out great.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

I found that the tomatoes overpowered the shrimp a bit. I would recommend using fewer tomatoes next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less ginger next time.
