Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons
1 medium onion, sliced
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
3 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes. Heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside. Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, wine, garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together. Stir in the parsley and basil. Season with more salt, to taste, and serve.

Easy go-to shrimp recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make this recipe all of the time. I don't anything about the recipe. Everyone who tries it, loves it - even people who... don't generally like their food spicey. Fresh basil and parsley are a must for this dish. Read more

I made it extra spicy and it was delicious!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My fiance and I love spicy food so I added 2 teaspoons of cayenne when I added the tomatoes and I also mixed the shrimp with... 2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes. We mixed some cooked angel hair pasta in at the end and it turned out perfect. Next time I'm planning to double the sauce and this will for sure become a frequent quick and easy recipe for us.

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this dish several times. It's so easy and simple ingredients tend to make for the best flavors. Especially when... adding a generous amount of basil and parsley right at the end. You can't go wrong serving this dish and looking like a star! Thanks Giada!Read more

WOW WOW WOW!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Just made this, and still wow'd! So easy (minus the time consuming part of shrimp cleaning), and although I was out of white... wine - red wine worked wonderfully.. and actually gave it a richer color. I didn't use one full cup.. just about 1/4-1/2 cup, because I had used sliced mushrooms with the onions.. and mushrooms give off a bit of liquid. This would be great served with any type of starch, and I can't wait to try this tossed with some angel hair pasta! Giada - you never ever ever fail. Thank you for your easy, unique, fun, and GORGEOUS recipes! Read more

Tasty Weeknight Meal
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a great recipe on several points. It was quick and easy, didn't require any unusual pantry items, and of course it... was tasty. My only complaint is that my boyfriend and I thought it was too salty, so I'd cut the salt in half next time. I also found that tossing the shrimp in a bowl with the crushed red pepper caused a lot of the pepper to get stuck to the bowl, so I ended up adding some more to the simmering sauce. Subbed vermouth as suggested by other reviewers and thought it worked nicely. We enjoyed it over homemade spaghetti and had some fresh french bread on hand to sop up the sauce.Read more

Make this recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been making this, probably since it was first broadcast. Sometimes I substitute calamari, but otherwise, I follow the... recipe. Even my finicky grown son asks for this when he stops by. Read more
