Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 1 lb shrimp dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 can diced tomatoes, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Return shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat. Simmer for 2 more minutes until heated through.
  6. Step 6: For garlic bread, mix 2 tbsp softened butter with 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Spread over 1/2 sliced baguette, then toast under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
  7. Step 7: Stir 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil into the shrimp sauce just before serving. Serve shrimp over crusty garlic bread.
