Garlic Basil Shrimp


I found it!! I have been looking and cooking for a blog worthy recipe and I just found it! This is from "foodnetwork.com" and is by Ellie Krieger.

I searched high and low for fresh basil and could not find any. Perhaps it was a conspiracy? All the other spices were there! I used 2 Tblsp of dried basil and a 1/2 tsp of dried hot red-pepper flakes because I like things HOT! I poured it over cooked whole wheat angel hair pasta...soooooo gooooood!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 1/4 pounds large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 Garlic cloves, minced
1/8 tsp dried hot Red-Pepper Flakes, or more to taste
3/4 cup dry White Wine
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Basil leaves
1 1/2 cups Grape Tomatoes, halved
salt and freshly ground Black Pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then saute shrimp, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.

Add garlic and red pepper flakes to the oil remaining in the skillet and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add wine and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in basil and tomatoes and season the sauce with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Return the shrimp to skillet and cook just until heated through. Pour over 1/2 a box of whole wheat angel hair pasta.

ENJOY!!!
