For our Shrimp and Tomatoes Pasta, we need the:
Ingredients for 4-Servings
320 g spaghetti pasta
200 g shrimps
3-4 ripe medium tomatoes, or 7-8 cherry tomatoes
2- peeled garlic cloves
3-4 tbsp olive oil
salt
ground black pepper
1-chilly pepper if you prefer a spicy taste
Parsley or basil to garnish
Directions
- First, clean the shrimp from the shell, tail, sand vein, and head. Rinse in the water and let apart. Some shrimp head takes for our sauce.
- Next, in a deep casserole, add cold water and let it boil.
- Next step, in a large pan, add the shrimps and one tbsp olive oil and cook the shrimps for one minute until golden. Transfer fried shrimp to a plate to add to the sauce later.
- Also, in the same pan, add garlic cloves, and chilly pepper ( if you like spicy), and let the oil heat with spices.
- Remove the garlic after golden brown and add the tomatoes cut into slices. If you have cherry tomatoes, just cut them in half. Add salt, black ground pepper, and some basil leaves.
- Cook tomatoes on medium heat until tender and create a tomato sauce.
- Add coarse salt to the boiled water, and after that, add pasta to boil in salty water. Referring to the pasta cooking time, you will cook the pasta for half or 2/3 of the cooking time, and the last minutes will finish the pasta cooking in the tomatoes and shrimp sauce.
- Add the fried shrimp, for one minute, before transferring the boiled pasta to the pan sauce, and the boiled pasta after that and let cook together for the 2 or 3 last minutes. Season the pasta with fresh parsley or basil, salt, pepper, and olive oil, and transfer to a pasta bowl.
- Serve the pasta hot. This plate must consume immediately after cooking. If you conserve it for later, the tasty will not be the same.
Tips
- You can use different varieties of cherry tomatoes, and good ripe tomatoes with this recipe.
- Following the same procedure, you also can use prawn or scampi shrimps.
- I recommend adding a big part of raw olive oil at the end, enjoying all the olive oil benefits and taste.
