Step 1

Season shrimp with a heavy pinch of salt and toss.

Step 2

In a pan over medium heat add olive oil. Once heated up add the shrimp and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side (for extra large shrimp, less time for smaller shrimp). Remove and place on the side *Don't worry if they aren't completely cooked through, in fact aim to pull them out before they are. They will simmer in the sauce for a few minutes at the end.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low. To the same pan add butter, garlic, and onions. Season with 1/2 tsp of salt. Cook until soft and fragrant 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add tomato paste and cook down until it is deeper in color approx 7 minutes. In the last 2 minutes of cooking add the peri peri spice blend.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan with wine and cook for 3 minutes on medium heat. Add chicken broth and cook for another 5 minutes until broth has reduced and is no longer watery.

Step 6

Add back the shrimp +. any residual juices that formed in the plate or bowl. Add cilantro and cook for another 3 minutes until shrimp are cooked. Serve immediately as is or over rice.
