Ingredients

1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
3 Shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
2 Large Ripe Italian Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Chilly Flakes
1 pinch Saffron
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup White Wine
24 Large Raw Whole Shrimps (U-16)
2 tablespoon Breadcrumbs
2 tablespoon Parsley, roughly chopped

Directions

1

Pour half the olive oil in a frying pan and set over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallots.
2

When they are sizzling, stir in the tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, chilly flakes, saffron and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the shallots and garlic burning, then add the wine and cook for a further minute.
3

Add 1/2 cup of water and the remaining salt, bring to the boil. Stir, then reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer and reduce for 20 minutes.
4

Meanwhile, pour the remaining olive oil in another frying pan and set over a high heat. When the pan is really hot, fry the shrimps for a minute, then remove from heat.
5

With the sauce still bubbling, add the fried shrimps and coat them well. Season well with black pepper, and breadcrumbs if sauce is too thin
6

Cook for a further 2 minutes then turn off the heat. Drizzle over a little more olive oil. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.
