Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Peel the shrimp and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and cover with cold water. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat one tablespoon oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and the shallots and cook until soft. Add the tomatoes, wine and pepper and simmer gently for 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Rinse and drain the shrimp. In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon oil and saute the shrimp just long enough for them to turn pink. Add them to the tomato sauce and mix well. Serve immediately.

Tip
  • This is good with rice or fusilli (corkscrew-shaped pasta).

Very good, simple! But I made minor adjustment, using white onion instead of shallot (I'm still not sure how shallot would have made it different but I'll try to remember to get it with the shrimp next time); substituted dry Vermouth for the wine, added half a zucchini and handful of cilantro; used Chinese hot pepper sauce because my husband has a reaction to pepper flakes. All in all delicious, and I can't cook without your recipes!! Please keep the simple ones coming.

Very excellent, especially with fresh basil or parsley sprinkled on before serving. Served with garlic crostini, pasta and steamed broccoli. Quick, easy, delicious!
