Garlic Tomato Shrimp Scampi is a flavorful twist on the classic dish, featuring juicy shrimp sautéed in garlic and simmered in a light tomato-wine sauce. It’s quick, elegant, and perfect served over pasta or crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened and juicy.
