Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Protein

  • 1 lb peeled and deveined fresh shrimp

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 cup fire roasted tomatoes (canned or jarred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes or 1 fresh chili, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • Fresh herbs (1/4 cup chopped parsley or basil)

Liquids & Fats

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup white wine or broth

Starch

  • 8 oz linguine or spaghetti pasta

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary. Finely chop garlic and onion. Open the can or jar of fire roasted tomatoes. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for pasta.
  2. Cook the Pasta: Boil pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes or fresh chili. Cook until fragrant and translucent. Add shrimp and cook just until pink and opaque, then remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  4. Make the Sauce: Deglaze the skillet with white wine or broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Add fire roasted tomatoes and simmer to thicken and meld flavors.
  5. Combine Everything: Return shrimp to the skillet, add cooked pasta, and toss together. Use reserved pasta water as needed to loosen sauce. Stir in fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve Hot: Plate immediately while hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley or basil if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best texture, avoiding frozen or thaw completely before cooking.
  • Do not overcook shrimp; remove as soon as they turn pink to keep them tender.
  • Adjust the heat level gradually by adding chili flakes or fresh chili to your preference.
  • Reserve pasta water to help the sauce bind beautifully with the pasta.
  • Choose quality fire roasted tomatoes for richer, deeper sauce flavor.
