Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 6 cherry tomatoes cut into halves
- 5 lices sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil optional for color
- 6 pitted black olives cut into halves
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 10 ounces (300g) shrimp shelled and deveined
- 1/4 cup white wine or cooking sake
- 1 tablespoon mirin optional
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 dashes ground black pepper
- 3 heavy dashes cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- squirt of lemon juice for serving, optional
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet or pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, pitted black olives, and capers, and give it a quick stir. Then, add the shrimp.
- Pour in the cooking sake and mirin. Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the tomatoes have broken down.
- Season with salt, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir in freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with a squirt of lemon juice if desired.
Notes
- Using white wine or cooking sake to cook the shrimp helps bring out a pleasant sweetness from the seafood.
- Adding mirin while cooking the dish is optional; however, it enhances the overall flavor.
- Do not use frozen shrimp; opt for fresh and jumbo shrimp with shells and heads. Shell and devein the shrimp before cooking to capture the amazing fresh, sweet, and briny taste.
- Shrimp cooks quickly. Avoid overcooking the shrimp to prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery. Once they turn opaque and pink, they are done.
