Heat olive oil in large frying pan. Saute shrimp in olive oil for one minute, turn each one with a fork and add garlic, shallots and seasoning.
Continue cooking for 45-60 seconds (no more) and remove the schrimp from the pan to a warm dish.
Add tomatoes & capers to the hot pan, saute for an additional 30 seconds.
Deglaze with white wine, allow to reduce by 50%. Add lemon juice.
Finish sauce with the butter, THEN place the schrimp back into the pan and toss several times continuing to cook for another minute or two.
