Our advice for making a delicious dinner in a flash? Reach for the shrimp. Shrimp is delicate which means it not only cooks in a matter of minutes but it quickly absorbs flavor. You could let your shrimp sit in olive oil, garlic, and your favorite spices for 30 minutes while you get the rest of dinner ready. Or, we like to infuse olive oil with hard-stemmed herbs, like sage or thyme, and sear the shrimp in the herb-oil for a few minutes per side. If you have a few more minutes to spare, remove the shrimp and add cherry tomatoes, your favorite green and a squeeze of lemon.
