Ingredients

2 pounds medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 plum tomatoes, finely chopped

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the garlic in the olive oil until just golden, approximately 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Add the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and cayenne pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
