Spicy Tomato Shrimp

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Seafood shines when kept simple. The sweetness of the shrimp, the acidity of the tomatoes, and the aroma of basil form the holy trinity of Mediterranean cuisine. Speed is key here: shrimp cooks in moments, and overcooking leads to a rubbery texture.

Instructions

1 ✓

Sauté the chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until soft.

Tip: Do not brown the garlic, or it will taste bitter.
2 ✓

Add the shrimp and sear for 1-2 minutes just until they turn opaque, then remove them from the pan.

Tip: If you cook them in the sauce the whole time, they will become tough. We'll add them back later.
3 ✓

Pour the wine into the skillet and simmer to cook off the alcohol.

Tip: The wine helps deglaze the tasty bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
4 ✓

Add the tomatoes and spices, then simmer until thickened (approx. 10 minutes).

Tip: You can balance the acidity of the tomatoes with a pinch of sugar if needed.
5 ✓

Return the shrimp to the pan for 1 minute to warm through, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with fresh basil.

Tip: The freshness of the lemon highlights the seafood flavors.

Recipe FAQ

Why is my shrimp rubbery?
It was overcooked. As soon as it turns pink and curls into a 'C' shape, it's done. Any longer and it becomes tough.
