  • 1 bulb garlic, minced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, plus more for spice

Instructions

Step one

In a pan over medium to low heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once oil has heated up add the shrimp and sear for 2 minutes on each side. Remove the shrimp and place in a bowl for later. 

Step two

To the same pan over low heat, add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, onions, chili flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook down the garlic and onions until soft and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes, being careful to not brown them. If they begin to brown, lower heat. 

Step three

Deglaze the pan with the wine and simmer 3-5 minutes until 1/2 the wine has cooked off. 

Step four

Add the Tuttorosso Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano, parsley and basil. Cover and cook down for 30 minutes. After 15 minutes of cooking, taste and add additional salt if needed. 

Step five

Once the sauce has simmered for 30 minutes, add the shrimp back in along with any residual juices that pooled in the bowl. Optional to add 1/3 cup of pasta water if option to put this dish over pasta. Simmer the shrimp for 2-3 minutes in the sauce before serving.
