Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once hot, add the shrimp, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped calabrese chili. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and burst.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir in the lemon juice. Cook for another minute to combine flavors.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top. Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon juice if desired.
