• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 tsp red chili flakes
• 2 tbsp lime juice

   Pat the 1 lb shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

   Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
