Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, combine the olive oil and minced garlic over low heat. Allow the garlic to infuse the oil for about 5 minutes, being careful not to let it brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet along with the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook gently in the olive oil for about 5-7 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the capers, chopped dried tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives, and chopped basil. Let everything simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm with slices of bread for dipping into the flavorful oil.
