Instructions
- In a non-stick skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat until shimmering, then gently add chopped tomatoes and allow them to soften and break down, creating a vibrant sauce within 4-5 minutes.

Notes
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for the best sauce consistency and bright, fresh flavor.

- Adjust cooking time carefully to prevent overcooking shrimp, which can become rubbery and tough.
- Experiment with alternative protein options like chicken or tofu for different dietary preferences.
