These Italian Shrimp are destined to become the highlight on your dinner plate!
I think by now, most of you know that I’m a big fan of shrimp. I can’t cook a non-rubbery piece of fish to save my life. But I can cook a fantastic plate of shrimp! ~She says ever so modestly…~
The best part is that this dish comes together so quickly. It’s wonderful as a stand-alone dish, but would also be equally good over a plate of pasta or spaghetti squash for low carb folks.
The flavor of the shrimp and sauce are the stand-alone star here, so whatever you pair this with, let the shrimp be the main highlight of the evening.
I paired this with a green salad and some Italian Dressing. A wonderful addition would also be some whole grain garlic bread. Yum! Now I’m hungry again…

Those shrimp look absolutely beautiful! I don’t normally think tomatoes when I think of shrimp, but I bet this is a great combination.
Reply
Crystal – Ya, it’s not my first thought either. But YUM!!

I bought everything to make it…..do I just throw the shrimp in frozen? Or do I have to thaw it out to remove the tails first?
Reply
Shana – I used them frozen, but many people prefer to thaw first. Don’t removed the tails. It makes them a bit easier to eat because you have something to hold on to. 🙂
Reply
Awesome.thanks. but I was planning on throwing them over pasta, so that’s why I was wondering about the tails.
Reply
Shana – Oh, well then yes, you’d want to remove the tails. 🙂

This is just fine without the tomato paste.

Thank you for stating that. I was wondering.

So, a serving would be 8 ounces of shrimp per person? Just double checking as it seems to be a lot (not that I’m complaining!) 😉
Reply
Sabrina – Ha! Yes, I tend to be generous with the portions when it comes to shrimp! But I think after cooking it may be a little less than 8 oz. I just divided it in half essentially.
