Garlic Shrimp With Basil Tomatoes

I adapted this from food network last summer. We like more garlic, tomatoes & basil than the original; and we quickly saute the shrimp & garlic in a pan. It's very good over pasta or even rice, but we usually serve it with crostini. Topping the bread (or crostini) with some of the tomato/basil mixture makes it even better. It's quick, has lots of flavor, even with supermarket tomatoes & basil in the middle of winter. I also found 2 servings to be more realistic than the recommended 4; shrimp are pretty low calorie, and even with the crostini, it's a pretty low kcal meal.

Steps

If using larger than cherry or grape tomatoes , cut them in segments about the same size as your shrimp.
In a medium bowl , combine tomatoes & basil.
Season with salt & pepper.
Set aside.
Rinse , drain & pat shrimp dry.
Season with salt & pepper.
Heat a large saute pan or skillet over medium heat.
When hot , add shrimp and saute for about 1 minute.
Add garlic , and continue to saute shrimp until pink and cooked through.
Add shrimp and garlic to bowl of tomatoes & basil , and toss well.
May be served hot.
