450 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
3 vine-ripe tomatoes, seeded
1 tbsp butter, or to taste
240 ml dry white wine
olive oil
0.5 white onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
2 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp dried oregano
Step 1
In a resealable container or zip-top bag, combine shrimp, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and salt. Seal and marinate for 1 hour.
Step 2
Blend vine tomatoes until smooth.
Step 3
In a frying pan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add marinated shrimp and increase heat to medium. Cook and stir until slightly browned on the outsides but not cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Step 4
Add a splash of white wine to the frying pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom using a wooden spoon. Pour in olive oil. Add onion to the hot oil and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in remaining wine and cook until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 5
Add the pureed tomatoes, plum tomatoes, basil, parsley, and oregano to the sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring frequently, until flavors combine, about 25 minutes. Toss shrimp back into the pan and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes more.
