Ingredients

1 pound of spaghetti
10 ounces of grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 pound of large shrimp
Juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup balsamic
½ cup white wine
4-6 cloves of pressed garlic
8 ounce of mozzarella
1/4 cup fresh basil

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package directions.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp.
After about 2 minutes, flip the shrimp over.
As the shrimp starts to cook, quickly add the lemon juice, balsamic, and pressed garlic cloves.
Then add the halved tomatoes and white wine.
Let everything continue to cook until the shrimp is cooked and pink on both sides, the tomatoes just burst, and the liquid simmers. This happens very quickly.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Turn the heat off and add the cooked pasta to the skillet.
Toss the pasta with the shrimp and tomatoes.
Add the mozzarella and the basil.
Toss again and serve. Enjoy!
