Easy Tomato Shrimp Pasta
Description
Easy Tomato Shrimp Pasta showcases shrimp cooked with garlic and cherry tomatoes to form the base of a rich sauce. The addition of white wine and butter creates a creamy texture that clings to the pasta. Garlic lends a mild pungency, while fresh basil brightens the dish at the end. The recipe involves boiling pasta until al dente, then combining it with the sautéed shrimp and tomato mixture, cooking just long enough to blend the flavors and gently thicken the sauce.
With a balance of tender seafood and a subtly buttery, tomato-forward sauce, this pasta is a straightforward way to enjoy shrimp with familiar pantry ingredients. It makes a complete meal on its own and pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad when a bit more variety is desired.
Ingredients
- 250 g pasta
- 300 g Shrimp (cleaned)
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- 250 g cherry tomato
- 10 tbsp white wine
- 1/2 tbsp basil chopped, fresh
- 100 g butter
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a pot, bring water with salt to a rolling boil.
- Add the pasta.
- In a frying pan, heat a dash of olive oil.
- Roast the garlic and add the peeled and deveined shrimp and the quartered cherry tomatoes. For some heat, you can also add a small chili pepper (chopped).
- After the shrimp turns pink (if you use raw shrimp), pour the wine into the skillet and add the butter.
- If you’re using pre-cooked shrimp, you only need to cook them for 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add the pasta to the pan and continue to cook until the sauce becomes creamy.
- Garnish with finely chopped fresh basil.
