Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp (large raw, peeled, deveined)

  • 1 teaspoon Salt

  • 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes

  • 3 tablespoon olive oil (plus 1 – 2 tsp)

  • 1 can diced tomatoes (large! )

  • 3 clove garlic (chopped, large cloves)

  • 1 cup dry white wine

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

  • 3 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

  • 3 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)

Directions

  • Toss the shrimp in a bowl with the salt and pepper flakes. Heat the 3 tbsp of oil over in a pan over medium high. Add the shrimp and toss for about a minute, then let cook for another minute or two. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and put aside.
  • Add onion to the skillet, and add another 1 -2 tsp of oil if necessary, saute until onion is translucent, maybe 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juice, wine, garlic and oregano. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Return shrimp and any accumulated juices back into the sauce and simmer for about a minute to let the flavours meld. Stir in the parsley and basil. Add salt to taste and serve!

Notes

  • Best with larger noodles like linguini or spaghetti, to better hold the sauce.
  • A family favourite we dont make often enough.
