Sauté the Shrimp or Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. If using shrimp, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. If using chicken, cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the Heirloom Tomato Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the diced heirloom tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down and release their juices.

Finish the Sauce
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
