Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup butter
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
¼ cup chopped green onions
¼ cup dry white wine
⅓ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the shrimp, garlic, and green onions. Cook and stir until the shrimp are pink on the outside, and no longer translucent in the center, about 5 minutes. Set the shrimp aside, and pour in the wine, cream, tomatoes, basil, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce will coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir the shrimp back into the sauce, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat through and serve.

5/5 stars! This dish was a hit with my family. The kids loved the sweet and sour sauce, and the adults appreciated the subtle heat from the chili peppers.

Amazing recipe! The shrimp turned out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just like I like it. The sauce was also delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice.
