Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure they brown properly.
Tip: Dry shrimp will caramelize better during roasting.

In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, sliced shallot, olive oil, lemon juice, white wine, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Tip: Don't over-mix to avoid breaking the delicate shrimp.
- 3
Spread the shrimp and tomato mixture in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper.
Tip: Use a sheet pan large enough so the shrimp isn't crowded for even roasting.

Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the tomatoes begin to blister.
Tip: Shrimp cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.

Remove from the oven and stir in the fresh chopped basil, tasting and adjusting seasonings as needed.
Tip: Add the basil at the end to preserve its bright, fresh flavor.

Serve immediately while hot, with the pan juices spooned over top, alongside pasta, rice, or toasted bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.
