Ingredients

2 pounds large shrimp frozen peeled & deveined, defrosted and pat dry
28 ounces crushed tomatoes cans
1 onion small dice
8 garlic cloves sliced
fresh basil
olive oil
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes optional

Directions

1

In a large pot, over low heat, add a few tablespoons of olive oil, the onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
2

Saute until just softened. If you are going for the spicy version, go ahead and add in the crushed red pepper flakes in now.
3

Add the crushed tomatoes into the pot as well as a couple handfuls of torn basil leaves.
4

Simmer for 3 hours. Taste for salt and pepper.
5

Right before you are ready to serve go ahead and add in the shrimp. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or just until the shrimp begin to curl and are a nice opaque white.

I served the shrimp over whole grain linguini, finished with some fresh cracked pepper and a drizzle of basil olive oil.
