This is a quick and flavorful one-pan dish blending shrimp, parsley, lemon juice, and tomatoes. Red pepper flakes give this family-friendly weeknight dinner a kick.

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat; swirl to coat pan. Season shrimp with salt and ground pepper. Add half the shrimp to the pan; cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and shrimp.

  2. Reduce heat to medium; add garlic and red-pepper flakes. Stir in tomatoes; cook until they begin to break down, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt.

  3. Return shrimp and any accumulated juices to pan. Add parsley and lemon juice; toss to coat. Serve over pasta, rice, or spinach, if desired.

Cook's Notes

After browning ingredients, pour off any oil, and deglaze the pan by adding water, stock, or wine, and then stirring with a wooden spoon to loosen the flavorful bits from the bottom. The liquid, bits and all, will be incorporated into the final dish.
