Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Seafood

  • 1 lb medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed)

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup white wine or broth
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Optional

  • Cooked linguine, spaghetti, gluten-free pasta, or spiralized zucchini noodles for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Sauté the Shrimp: Start by peeling and deveining your shrimp if needed. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the shrimp, seasoning them lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes per side until just pink; remove and set aside to avoid overcooking.
  2. Build the Sauce: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil and toss in minced garlic, cooking until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes, then pour in the fire roasted tomatoes, breaking them up as needed. Let the sauce simmer gently.
  3. Enhance the Flavor: Add white wine or broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, letting the sauce thicken slightly while the flavors meld together, usually 5-7 minutes.
  4. Combine Shrimp and Sauce: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the spicy tomato sauce. Allow everything to warm through, coating the shrimp fully without overcooking. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of herbal brightness. Serve immediately, ideally over your favorite pasta or crusty bread to soak up the irresistible sauce.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Shrimp: Fresh shrimp offer the best texture but frozen can work if fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.
  • Don’t Overcook Shrimp: Shrimp become rubbery quickly, so remove them from heat as soon as they turn pink.
  • Choose Quality Tomatoes: Fire roasted canned tomatoes add smoky depth you won’t get from regular canned varieties.
  • Simmer Slowly: Allow the sauce to gently reduce for richer flavor without burning or drying out.
  • Balance Heat Levels: Taste as you add crushed red pepper flakes, but remember the spice deepens as the dish sits.
