Ingredients

Copy Ingredients

6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
10 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (28 ounce) can Tuttorosso® Peeled Plum Tomatoes
1 tablespoon Tuttorosso® Tomato Paste
10 basil leaves, freshly torn
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Italian bread slices, toasted, for serving

Instructions

Make the Garlic Tomato Sauce:

In a small pot, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, just until golden and fragrant—be careful not to burn it!
Add Tuttorosso Peeled Plum Tomatoes, gently crushing them with the back of a spoon or your hands. Stir in Tuttorosso Tomato Paste, add torn basil leaves, and season with salt and pepper.
Reduce heat and let simmer 15–20 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and rich in flavor.

Cook the Shrimp:

While the sauce is simmering, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper, then add to the hot pan.
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, just until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Avoid overcooking—they should be tender and juicy.

Combine & Serve:

Pour the garlic tomato sauce into the skillet with the shrimp. Stir gently to coat and let everything warm together for 1–2 minutes.
Serve hot with toasted bruschetta—either spooned on top or on the side for dipping. For an extra touch, drizzle with olive oil or a bit of balsamic glaze.
