A fresh, simple, yet impressive dish for you and your loved one, or for entertaining guests. The beauty is in its simplicity; you only need 8 ingredients. This also takes less than a half hour to complete so you'll have more time to spend with the people you are with.
I made this to submit to SippitySup's Tomatomania contest. Oh! Be sure to use a white a wine that you will drink with it because you only need a little bit for the sauce.
Ingredients:
· ½ pound of medium shrimp, 12-15 shelled and deveined
· 3 large slicer tomatoes concasséd (peeled, seeded, and chopped)
· 2 cloves garlic minced
· ¼ cup basil, chiffonade
· 6 ounces linguine
· 2 tablespoons olive oil
· Juice of half a lemon
· 2 tablespoons of dry white wine
· Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in sauté pan, add minced garlic, sauté for 30 seconds. Add concassé of tomatoes. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until tomatoes begin break down, then add 2 tablespoons of the white wine plus 1 teaspoon of salt and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta and cook according to the box’s instructions. In another pan, heat additional 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season shrimp with salt and pepper, and sear for 1 minute each side, squeeze lemon juice over shrimp, then add them to the tomato sauce. Let simmer in sauce for an additional 2 minutes to finish cooking.
Toss noodles with sauce and basil. Enjoy!
Serves 2.
