Ingredients
| 1 |
lb shrimp, large peeled and de-veined |
| 3 |
cloves garlic |
| 2 |
tbsp olive oil |
| 1 |
cup white wine |
| 1 |
(14.5 ounce can, drained) diced tomatoes |
| 2 |
tbsp margarine |
| 1 |
tbsp lemon juice |
| 1/2 |
tsp. salt |
| 1/2 |
tsp ground pepper |
| 1 |
pinch red pepper flakes |
| 3 |
tbsp fresh basil |
Directions
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in large skillet/frying pan. Dice garlic and saute in hot oil for 3-5 minutes.
- Add drained tomatoes, wine (Chardonay preferred), salt, ground pepper, and red pepper to pan. Let simmer for 12 minutes (alcohol will cook out).
- Add shrimp, margarine, and lemon juice to pan. Cook until shrimp are done (5 mins or so - shrimp will be pink/white and solid not transluscent).
- Remove from heat; stir in 1-3 basil leaves, finely chopped (substitute frozen or dried basil - 1 tsp - if desired).
- note: Pasta, bread, basil not included in nutrition facts. If serving with pasta, angel hair or linguine recommended. Cook desired amount of pasta, then toss w/ cooked Shrimp, Tomato, Basil dish. My husband and I like to eat this straight out of the skillet, with hunks of bread for dipping.
- Serve with a green salad and the rest of the wine :)
