  2. Cook Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then sauté for 2-4 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  3. Sauté Onion: In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.

  6. Roast Additional Tomatoes (Optional): Preheat oven to 400°F. Place whole cherry tomatoes in a dish, drizzle with oil, season, and roast for 10-15 minutes until burst.
