Light Spicy Tomato-Garlic Shrimp with Winter Cabbage (Brothy Skillet)
Cozy but still light: a tomato-based shrimp-and-cabbage skillet (think brothy, not creamy) with a little garlic and chili. Great on its own or with a small side of potatoes if you want more heft.

Instructions
- Optional potato side: If you want, roast diced potatoes at 425°F with a little oil and salt for 20–25 minutes (or microwave until tender).
- Start the sauce: In a large skillet over medium, warm olive oil. Add garlic (and optional ginger) and red pepper flakes; cook 30 seconds.
- Cook tomatoes: Add chopped tomatoes, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Cook 5–7 minutes until saucy. Add stock/water and simmer 2 minutes.
- Wilt the cabbage: Add sliced cabbage, toss to coat, and cover 3 minutes to steam. Uncover and cook 2–3 minutes more until tender but not mushy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Cook shrimp: Add shrimp in a single layer; cook 1–2 minutes per side until just pink and opaque (don’t overcook).
- Finish: Stir in lemon juice. Serve in shallow bowls with plenty of broth; add potatoes on the side if using.
