I asked the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT to create a recipe for me to make.
My only stipulations were that the recipe included garlic and shrimp.

Open AI released ChatGPT in November 2022 and it quickly captured the public's attention.

According to the recipe, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Then, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, deglaze with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce for 1-2 minutes.

Add the chicken or seafood broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until they start to soften.

I tried TikTok's viral 3-ingredient chocolate snack. It was simple, sweet, and tasty, but it took a lot of waiting and a few tweaks to get it right.
