Spicy Lemon Tomato Simmered Shrimp

1 Tbs. olive oil
3 baby sweet peppers, sliced
2 cups fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
sea salt and pepper
1/8 tsp. red chile flakes
juice of 1 lemon
2 tsp. fresh basil, thinly sliced
6 oz. shrimp, peeled and deveined

 

In a medium skillet, heat oil over low heat. Add the sweet peppers and cook for about 1 minute.

Toss in the tomato chunks and season with salt and pepper. Cover and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes. 

Remove the lid and begin breaking down the tomatoes with the back of a spoon, until mostly crushed. 

Continue stirring until the tomatoes become “stew-like.”

Add all the remaining ingredients, except for the basil.

Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the shrimp are completely cooked through.
Stir in the basil and serve piping hot.
