Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Seasoning

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced

Finishing Touch

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp: Rinse fresh shrimp under cold water or thaw frozen shrimp completely. Pat them dry with paper towels for best sautéing results.
  2. Chop the vegetables: Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces, and slice the zucchini thinly to ensure even cooking.
  3. Season the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes to evenly coat all pieces with flavor.
  4. Sauté the vegetables: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the prepared vegetables. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften but still retain some texture.
  5. Add shrimp and cheese: Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over everything and gently stir to combine. Continue cooking until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thoroughly thawed frozen shrimp for best texture.
  • Adjust crushed red pepper flakes according to heat preference.
  • You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over cooked pasta or rice for a complete meal.
  • Ensure not to overcook shrimp to keep them tender.
