There’s something satisfying about tumbling a handful of ingredients into a pan & have the results yield such big flavors with such little effort. Not only quick & easy to make, this recipe is wholesome & light in calories & carbs for those of us on the eternal diet merry-go-round.

tomato & olive shrimp

Fresh herbs, lemons, chili, capers, sweet cherry tomatoes, wine & of course the obligatory onion & garlic, a smattering of olives – all fairly standard ingredients of many Mediterranean recipes. Feel free to add to hot pasta or have some bread to drag through the flavorsome sauce but it’s good just as-is served with a simple green leaf salad. Or for the lazy souls among us, perhaps just grab a fork & dig in!

Cook Time15 mins
Total Time25 mins
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Servings: 3
Author: Lovoni

Ingredients

  • 20 to 24 large, raw shrimp (prawns) (we used very large tiger shrimp)
  • pinch of salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced white onion
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 6 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved or quarted
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained & roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons roughly chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 3 tablespoons roughly chopped basil leaves (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  • Sprinkle shrimp with salt & pepper. Heat half the olive oil in a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes until they change color; remove from pan & set aside.  
  • Add the remaining oil to the same pan over medium-high. Add the onion & garlic & cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until the onion softens. 
  • Add the wine & simmer, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan. Reduce the wine by half – about 1 minute.  
  • Add the tomatoes & cook for 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are starting to soften. Add olives, capers & broth. Simmer, uncovered, until the broth has reduced by about half. 
  • Add lemon juice, parsley, basil & shrimp to pan & stir to combine & shrimp are hot & just cooked. Scatter each serving with basil leaves for garnish.

Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her voice every day offering support & advice. One of my favourites is this simple ‘start how you want to finish’ advice. It was told to her when she decided she’d take care of her mum, my nan, at home when she became very ill & needed around the clock care. 
As a new year lies before us & we can make it anything we want. So go forth how you want to continue. For me that’s with intent, small reasonable goals, simplifying home & life where possible & taking care of myself both my mental & physical health. 
Last year was a fucker, this year I’m taking care of me. We are nothing without our health. 
Happy 2023 to those who’ve stuck around with me, especially during my absence over the last 12 months, & to the newcomers who’ve joined the Fresh Hunger community. Thank you for your support. I’ve got some fun, helpful projects coming your way I can’t wait to share with you all. L xo
