Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 can (28 oz / 800 g) crushed tomatoes (San Marzano preferred)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or cooking wine)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: cooked pasta or crusty bread for serving
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Toss with 1 tbsp lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and 1 small finely chopped onion. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes, avoiding browning the garlic.
  3. Stir in 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and toast for 30 seconds to release oils.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine, scraping bits off the pan bottom. Simmer until wine reduces by half, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp dried oregano if using, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 15 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Add shrimp in a single layer to the sauce. Cook 3-4 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Stir gently to coat shrimp.
  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the top. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve shrimp and sauce over cooked pasta or with crusty bread.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture; cook just until pink and opaque. If sauce is too acidic, add a pinch of sugar or a splash of cream. Use good quality dry white wine for best flavor. For gluten-free, serve with gluten-free pasta or zoodles. Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to control heat level.
