Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
- Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
- Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

SHRIMP WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
Sun-dried tomatoes might scream 1980s nouveau cuisine to you, and that's a fair assessment considering their somewhat profligate use throughout the decade. Yet this dish may have you reconsidering their place in your pantry. Used sparingly, sun-dried tomatoes can impart a bold tomato-y taste that Mark Bittman argues is in some ways "better than 'real' tomato flavor." In this 20-minute sauté, the intense tang of capers and tomatoes plays beautifully off the mild sweetness of shrimp. Serve it over pasta or rice, or alone with a big hunk of good bread.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler; rack should be 2 to 4 inches from heat source and the heat as high as possible.
- Put oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add thyme, garlic, tomatoes and capers. Cook just until mixture sizzles, then add stock or wine; raise heat and bring to a boil. Cook for about a minute, then add shrimp, turning them in sauce.
- Put skillet under broiler and cook until shrimp are done, 3 to 5 minutes, turning once. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, garnish with basil, and serve hot or warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes until they are pink and opaque.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Season the dish to taste: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will be most tender and flavorful when it is hot off the stove.
Conclusion:
This shrimp with tomatoes, olives, and basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce with olives and basil, and it is served over rice or pasta. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
