Heat an induction burner until hot.

Add cooking oil to the hot pan.

Drop in 6 shrimp and toss them in the pan immediately.

Add minced garlic and diced shallots to the pan, season with salt, and keep the pan moving.

Deglaze the pan with white wine, just enough to cover the bottom, and scrape up the bits.

Once the wine is almost completely evaporated, add cold butter to the pan and work on emulsification.

Turn the heat down slightly and add fresh tomatoes, parsley, and chives to the pan.

Kill the heat completely while ensuring the butter is not fully melted to maintain the sauce's emulsion.

Plate the shrimp in a line on the plate, drizzle the sauce down the center, and add any remaining garlic and shallot goodness.
