Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Jumbo shrimp (with shells on)
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 medium Ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 0.33 cup Breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 loaf Crusty bread
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the jumbo shrimp. If desired, slightly crack the shells to make the sauce soak in during cooking, but do not remove the shells entirely.
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the diced tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their juices.
Pour in the white wine, stir, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Gently nestle the jumbo shrimp into the sauce, ensuring they are evenly distributed and partially submerged.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the shrimp cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately in shallow bowls with plenty of sauce and crusty bread on the side to soak up the broth.
