Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Red onion, finely chopped
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.25 cup Dry white wine

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, white wine, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
