Shrimp and Tomatoes

Shrimp and Tomatoes are the perfect starter or an appetizer to serve all year long, including the Christmas and New Year’s Holidays. This Shrimp and Tomatoes recipe goes perfectly well with slices of crusty bread or artesian-style crackers and a glass of your favorite wine. You will love this winning combination of fresh wild-caught jumbo shrimp, a medley of colorful organic grape tomatoes, shallots, Spanish capers, tossed in a lemon and olive oil vinaigrette, and topped with fresh herbs. This Shrimp and Tomatoes dish screams decadent and impressive but is simple to make. This fantastic recipe for Shrimp and Tomatoes is usually served at about room temperature, so you will want to start with grape tomatoes and most ingredients other than the fresh shrimp that have not been refrigerated. Since I’m a self-proclaimed drama queen, I left the tails on these shrimp when I made them this time. However, I would recommend removing them when serving to a crowd to keep the mess of shrimp tails down.

Components for Shrimp and Tomatoes

See the recipe card below for further information.

Fresh wild-caught jumbo shrimp: Wild shrimp are caught in their natural habitats while farmed raised shrimp are raised on a shrimp farm. Wild-caught shrimp are more natural and usually much healthier than their cultivated counterparts. Medley of colorful organic grape tomatoes: Use colorful organic grape tomatoes that are non-GMO, organically grown, and contain no preservatives. Perfect for salads, snacks, and recipes, these classic organic grape tomatoes are genuinely delicious. Be sure not to refrigerate them as it takes away from the tomato’s sweet flavor. Shallots: What’s the difference between shallots and onions? Shallots have a delicate and sweet flavor with a hint of sharpness, while onions tend to bring a more intense flavor. You can substitute shallots in almost any recipe that calls for onions. Spanish capers: The Spanish Capers add a floral, tangy, and salty flavor to the Shrimp and Tomatoes. Capers are salty because of the way they are processed and packaged. Lemon Juice: Lemon juice is frequently used in cooking to “Brighten” flavors and works well to counter many of the flavors present in seafood. Lemon Wedges: The lemon wedges add more flavor to the Shrimp and Tomatoes when serving and serve as a garnish to this seafood dish. Olive oil: Be sure to look for quality olive oil. I use organic cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil in this recipe for the best flavor results. Trust me, and your tastebuds will thank you. Fresh herbs: Fresh herbs are a must in this Shrimp and Tomato recipe. You can use fresh parsley, basil, or cilantro in this recipe or a combination of them. Just don’t combine the basil with cilantro. Kosher salt: Using kosher salt instead of table salt enhances the Shrimp and Tomatoes‘ flavor instead of making the recipe taste salty. Kosher salt has no iodine, which can also lend an unwanted bitter taste to the recipe.

Freshly ground peppercorns: When whole peppercorns are freshly ground, they have significantly more flavorful than ground pepper. When you grind peppercorns immediately before eating, the fresh ground pepper has less time to react with the air, which allows the pepper to maintain the flavor components that make it peppery tasting.
