Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Produce

  • 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Pantry Staples and Sauces

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp: Pat your peeled and deveined shrimp dry to ensure they sear nicely. Set aside to cook later in the spicy sauce.
  2. Sauté garlic and spices: Heat olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds, so the flavors bloom without burning.
  3. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer: Pour in canned crushed tomatoes and optional white wine, stirring well. Let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes to develop depth and meld flavors.
  4. Cook the shrimp in the sauce: Gently add shrimp to the simmering sauce, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep shrimp juicy and tender.
  5. Season and finish: Taste your sauce and adjust salt, pepper, or crushed red pepper flake amounts as desired. Stir in chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for best taste and even cooking.
  • Pat shrimp dry thoroughly to prevent steaming and ensure proper sear.
  • Adjust crushed red pepper flakes gradually to control spice level.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or basil off the heat for bright flavor.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy optimal texture and flavor.
