1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
2
Chop Shallots and Tomatoes
Finely chop the shallots and slice the cherry tomatoes in half.

3
Sauté Shallots
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are translucent.
4
Cook the Shrimp
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink. Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
5
Add Sambuca and Tomatoes
Pour the Sambuca into the skillet, allowing it to flambé if desired for extra flavor. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, stirring gently to combine.
6
Prepare the Sauce
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. Stir until the butter melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

7
Plate the Dish
Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the Sambucca shrimp immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
