Step 2

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the shrimp to the pan in a single flat layer. Cook the shrimp on the first side for about a minute or two, then flip them and cook the other side for another minute or so until they are pink. Once they are cooked through, add the remaining sauce to the pan, and bring it to a simmer. Make sure to toss the shrimp into the sauce and make sure they’re fully coated. Then, sprinkle the chopped herbs into the pan, turn off the heat, and give the shrimp one final toss. Serve and enjoy!
