Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb Shrimp medium to large, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon oregano fresh, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley fresh, chopped
- ¼ cup basil fresh, chopped
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 oz can whole tomatoes drained
- ½ cup clam juice
- ½ cup marinara sauce
- ½ lb pasta i.e., angel hair, spaghetti, linguine
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Add water to a large pot and liberally add salt. Bring to a boil.
- In a large skillet/saucepan, heat the olive over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and sauté until just starting to turn a light brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the shrimp in a bowl and stir in the oregano, parsley, and basil.
- Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and cook until the shrimp is curled and pink, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the cooked shrimp with a slotted spoon to a platter and set aside.
- In the same skillet, over medium-high heat, add the wine and stir it around for about 1 minute.
- Carefully squeeze the drained tomatoes with your hands into the skillet. Add the clam juice and marinara sauce and cook fro about 4 minutes. Stir in ¾ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- During this process, add your pasta to the boiling water and cook until just cooked, or al dente, according to package directions.
- Carefully add the shrimp into the sauce and simmer for a few minutes.
- Drain the pasta and either stir into the sauce, or place on a platter (or bowls) and pour sauce over the top, or get a new skillet, add a little of the sauce over medium heat, stir in the pasta, and then stir in the remaining sauce. Taste and add more salt, if desired. Serve at once.

- You don't have to make the marinara sauce from scratch, but you won't regret that you did. We make a batch in advance and then freeze what you don't need.
- The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and freezes beautifully for up to 2 months. Reheat leftover pasta in the microwave on a skillet on the stove over medium heat (you may need to add a little water to loosen the sauce).
