Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Linguine pasta
- 1 pound Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the raw shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down and release their juices.
Stir in the white wine, tomato paste, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Add the chopped fresh basil and stir to combine.
If the sauce is too thick, stir in some of the reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Divide the cooked linguine among serving plates and spoon the shrimp and sauce over the top.
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
