Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add water to a large pot and liberally add salt. Bring to a boil.
  2. 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.
  3. Meanwhile, place the shrimp in a bowl and stir in the oregano, parsley, and basil.
  4. 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.
  5. In the same skillet, over medium-high heat, add the wine and stir it around for about 1 minute.
  6. 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.
  7. During this process, add your pasta to the boiling water and cook until just cooked, or al dente, according to package directions.
  8. Carefully add the shrimp into the sauce and simmer for a few minutes.
  9. 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).
