Yield:4 servings 

 

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup butter
• 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 pound peeled and de-veined 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 
  

 

Directions:

Step1: 

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. 

Step2: 

Stir the shrimp back into the sauce, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat through and serve.
