Easy Shrimp Marinara

spaghetti noodles

large shrimp, deveined (peeled or unpeeled)

basil

salt

butter (or olive oil)

Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)

tomatoes

olive oil

balsamic vinegar

garlic powder

oregano

basil leaves,

Thaw the shrimp (according to the package instructions, or see the section above). When thawed, pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel or clean rag.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until it is al dente (start tasting a few minutes before the package recommends: you want it to be tender but still a little firm on the inside). Then drain.

In a large skillet, heat the butter on medium high heat. Add the shrimp, basil and kosher salt. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side until almost cooked through, turning them with tongs (they will cook additionally when you add the marinara at the end). Remove the shrimp from the pan into a bowl, leaving the juices inside the skillet.

In same skillet, add the marinara sauce ingredients, scraping any bits off of the bottom of skillet as you stir it together. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15 minutes.

Add shrimp to the skillet and remove the heat. Serve over pasta and topped with Parmesan cheese (optional) and chopped basil.

Can this dish be frozen? Loved it the first time I made it and ate it immediately. Now thinking of freezing. Wondering if that will work? Thanks!

Tried your shrimp marinara recipe and it came out fabulous!  I loved it and will definitely make it again.  This was my first exposure to your sight and I look forward to many more of your yummy recipes.  I have to admit that I cheated a little today and used a jar of sweet Basil marinara because I just did not feel like fussing.  Still delicious and of course, I doctored it up.  Thank you for sharing.  Karen

I made step 1 using fresh shrimp.  I didn't have dried basil and used a generous amount of Italian seasoning.  Instead of making Marinara sauce I used half a large bottle of Rao's marinara sauce.  I added garlic and crushed red pepper to it.  I added back the Shrimp.  It was so good.  So easy.  Will definitely be making this again modified.

Simple and delicious! Added some red pepper flakes and used minced garlic (no basil- didn't have any). Our plates were very clean at the end of dinner.
