Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 120 milliliters white wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine, and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, stirring to combine.
Sprinkle in the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to thicken the sauce, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the pan, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side until just pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside, keeping them warm.
Stir the chopped fresh basil into the tomato sauce and add the cooked shrimp.
Let the shrimp simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the shrimp in tomato sauce before serving.
Serve hot over cooked pasta or rice, garnishing with extra basil if desired.
