Quick Sauteed Shrimp in Tomato Garlic Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 scallions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced into thin slivers
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup clam juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar, optional
- 16 colossal shrimp, shelled and deveined with tail on (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, scallions, garlic, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Cook until the greens of the scallions are wilted and darkened with the oil and the garlic is tender and slightly golden, about 4 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, season with salt and cook while stirring until the tomatoes are softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the clam juice and lemon juice, bring to a light simmer and stir.
- Taste, and if the tomatoes and lemon juice are too tart, add sugar and stir.
- Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pan.
- Cook on 1 side until the shrimp begins to turn opaque and curl slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Then toss and cook until they just begin to turn pink on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes.
- (Shrimp cooks fast and there's a thin line between done and overdone; the best rule is to remove the pan from the heat as they begin to reach the finish line.
- Continue tossing and the heat of the pan will continue to cook them until done.)
- Serve warm or chilled.
