Ingredients

• 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1/2 pound Large Raw Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• Kosher Salt and Ground Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter, plus 4 tablespoons cubed
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flake
• 1 big cup White Wine
• 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice, about two large wedges
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
STEP 1 Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
STEP 2 Toss cherry tomatoes in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with kosher salt and pepper. Place on a sheet pan and in the oven to roast for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
STEP 3 In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium high heat. Season shrimp with kosher salt and pepper. Add shrimp to the pan and cook 2 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flake and stir together until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove shrimp to a plate and set aside.
STEP 4 Deglaze pan with white wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and reduce wine by a quarter. Add roasted cherry tomatoes and parsley. Turn heat to low and add the cubed 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir until butter is completely melted and sauce looks shiny. Season sauce with kosher salt based on taste preference. I only added about a pinch.
STEP 5 Add the shrimp back to the pan and warm through, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately tossed with pasta or by itself with good french bread.
