Ingredients
- 1tablespoon olive oil
- 1medium onion, peeled and chopped
- 3cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2cups crushed canned plum tomatoes
- ¾teaspoon anchovy paste
- ½cup white wine
- 3blood oranges
- 1½pounds large shrimp, preferably Surinam, shelled and deveined
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
In a large kettle, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, anchovy paste and white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, segment the blood oranges: using a paring knife, peel the oranges, cutting deeply enough to remove the outer layer of white pith. Free each segment by cutting around the membrane, angling the knife toward the center. Transfer the segments to a bowl with as much juice as possible.
- Step 3
Raise the heat under the kettle to high and add the shrimp and orange segments. Simmer, stirring very occasionally, until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with basmati or jasmine rice.

Loved it! Used basmati cooked with unsweetened coconut flakes. 1 c. rice/1 Tbs. flake. Paired perfectly with a dry Reisling...Kung Foo Girl.
Made as written (used ordinary shrimp) with terrific results. Love the depth of flavor from the blood oranges. Plus it’s fast and easy! And good enough for company!
