Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 10 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can Tuttorosso® Peeled Plum Tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Tuttorosso® Tomato Paste
  • 10 basil leaves, freshly torn
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Italian bread slices, toasted, for serving

Instructions

Make the Garlic Tomato Sauce – Step one

In a small pot, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step two

Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, just until golden and fragrant—be careful not to burn it!

Step three

Add Tuttorosso Peeled Plum Tomatoes, gently crushing them with the back of a spoon or your hands. Stir in Tuttorosso Tomato Paste, add torn basil leaves, and season with salt and pepper.

Step four

Reduce heat and let simmer 15–20 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and rich in flavor.

Cook the Shrimp – Step one

While the sauce is simmering, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step two

Season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper, then add to the hot pan.

Step three

Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, just until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Avoid overcooking—they should be tender and juicy.

Combine & Serve – Step one

Pour the garlic tomato sauce into the skillet with the shrimp. Stir gently to coat and let everything warm together for 1–2 minutes.

Step two

Serve hot with toasted bruschetta—either spooned on top or on the side for dipping. For an extra touch, drizzle with olive oil or a bit of balsamic glaze.
