Start with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches smoking point.

Add seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on one side.

Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes until both sides are cooked.

Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add butter and melt it down.

Add minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add halved cherry tomatoes and roasted red peppers to the skillet, along with capers and their liquid.

Stir the mixture and cook until the tomatoes start to burst and the skins wrinkle.

Add rough chopped basil to the skillet and cook until it wilts down.

Eyeball the amount of heavy cream and add it to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Add finely grated parmesan cheese and let the mixture come together for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Taste the sauce and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet along with lemon juice.

Turn off the heat and let the shrimp cook through with the residual heat for about 4-5 minutes before serving.
