Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ pounds medium shrimp shells & tails removed
  • ½ teaspoon salt divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil divided
  • 1 large shallot minced

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with ¼ teaspoon salt and the ground pepper.
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
  3. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet and add the shallots. Cook, stirring, until the shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes.
  4. Add the snap peas and cook until the snap peas are just tender, about 3 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir the shrimp (and accumulated juices), pistachios, lemon zest, basil and the remaining salt into the snap peas. Serve immediately.
