SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook 2 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through and no longer translucent in the center. Transfer to a plate.
• 2. Add the tomato, wine and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt to the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes, until the tomato is softened and the liquid thickens. Stir in the olives and parsley; cook 1 minute, and stir in the shrimp and basil. Remove from heat.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside while you saute the shrimp.
• Divide the shrimp between two 8-or 9-inch pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat. Season one side of the shrimp with salt and pepper; add a teaspoon of oil to each pan and turn the heat to high. Invert a pie pan over a skillet so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Repeat with the other shrimp. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a remaining teaspoon oil and half the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans.
