Shrimp Scampi

Thankfully my kids like seafood! Here's a fast and easy recipe I got from my friend Donna. I first made it for our anniversary this past October and have made it a bunch of times since. It was a lifesaver during Lent!



Ingredients
 1 pound shrimp (we keep a big bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer and pull from that.)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup cut up tomatoes (I slice grape tomatoes just in half, it's faster and they hold their shape better.)
3/4 stick butter
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tsp Parsley (otherwise known as What's That Green Stuff Mommy?)

Directions

Put olive oil in pan and saute garlic three minutes.
Add wine, lemon juice and butter and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 5-10 minutes
Add shrimp and tomatoes and saute until shrimp is pink and tomatoes are soft.
Pour over rice or pasta (we use linguine.)
