Ingredients

25g butter

250g peeled and deveined medium shrimp

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 1/2 tsp minced garlic

2 Roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped

83.33ml heavy cream

1/4 cup dry white wine

2 tbsp chopped fresh basil

1 pinch cayenne pepper

salt and pepper

Directions

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, green onions, and garlic; cook until the shrimp are rosy pink and no longer translucent, around 5 minutes. Remove the shrimp mixture to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, introduce tomatoes, cream, white wine, basil, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, approximately 10 minutes.

Return the shrimp mixture to the sauce in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until heated through.
