This recipe takes less than 20 minutes, I promise!  Perfect for a quick dinner or even for work lunch.

I’m a huge fan of sweet and savory and this recipe offers just that.  The spices compliment the sweet cherry tomatoes perfectly.

Ingredients:

• 4-6 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 15-18 large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• A handful of cherry tomatoes (about 10-12)
• 1/4 cup of chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon chopped jalapeño
• 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of coriander powder
• 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon of chopped scallion (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Toss the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and set aside.
• Heat a skillet over medium high heat.  Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Add the shrimp and fry for about 3 minutes each side.  Once lightly brown on each side take it out and set it aside.
• In the same pan, add the remaining oil, garlic, jalapeño and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.  Fry for about a minute.
• Add the chopped onion and fry for another minute or two, until the onion is translucent.
• Add cumin and coriander and fry for 1 minute.
• Add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for 5 minutes.
• Add the shrimp back to the pan and saute for 3-5 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and add the fresh cilantro while pan is still on the stove.

Serve with some white rice.
