Ingredients
- 1 lb medium shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper any color, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can 14.5 oz/400g diced tomatoes
- ½ cup 120ml white wine or chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, white wine or chicken broth, dried oregano, and dried basil. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, and then add them to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
- If desired, garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese over white rice.
Notes
To store, let the dish cool down, then transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over medium heat until it's heated through, stirring occasionally. If it seems a bit dry, you can add a splash of water or broth to help it regain its original sauciness.
