Shrimp like we like it

1/2 Pound Of Large Shrimp
2 Cloves Of Garlic, Minced
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper
Dash Of Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)
1/2 Cup White Wine
1 Cups Chopped Tomatoes, Or Fresh Tomato Sauce
6 Black Olives, Pitted And Coarsely Chopped
1Tablespoons Capers (optional)
1 tbsp. Cup dried parsley or 3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 Tablespoons Butter

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add the garlic and shrimp. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook just 30 seconds on each side until the shrimp turns pink. Remove the shrimp from the pan, and add the wine. Turn the heat up to medium high and cook until it has almost evaporated. Add the tomatoes, and cook until the sauce thickens. Return the shrimp to the pan, add the olives and capers, and cook for another minute. Taste, and adjust seasonings if needed. Add the fresh parsley and butter, and mix well. Serve immediately, while hot and bubbly, maybe over some pasta!! And with a good salad and some crusty Italian bread, and some (Sharon’s pick) santa margharitas pinot grigio!!!
