Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Begin by preparing the shrimp. Ensure they are fully peeled and deveined. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes into the skillet, stirring them in with the garlic.
Add the tomato paste, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.
Let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the shrimp to the tomato sauce, spreading them out evenly in the skillet.
Continue cooking over medium heat until the shrimp are cooked through and pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit for a minute.
Serve the shrimp hot, with lemon wedges on the side for added zest.
