Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the thinly sliced garlic cloves to the skillet and cook until they turn golden and crispy, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Remove the garlic chips with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high.
Step 4
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Step 5
Add the cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to slightly soften.
Step 6
Deglaze the skillet by adding the lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
Step 7
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir to combine with the tomato and olive mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the shrimp through.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley, garlic chips, and optional red chili flakes.
Step 9
Serve immediately as is, or pair with crusty bread, rice, or pasta for a complete meal.
