.garlic-basil shrimp.

I love love shrimp. This recipe was such a quick meal and tasted so good! I always keep frozen shrimp in the house from Trader Joe's. They have amazing frozen shrimp for only $5.99 its a great deal and one package is enough for at least 2 separate meals! Try it out!



Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound large shrimp
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
2 cups cooked orzo pasta

Preparation
Cook Orzo according to directions on box.
Then heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, then add the shrimp and cook, turning over once, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the oil remaining in the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the wine and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and basil and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Return the shrimp to the pan and cook just until heated through. Serve with the orzo.
