Shrimp Tomato Basil Pasta!! Bellissima!




This is a super tasty dish that is very, very easy to make. Serve up with some crusty french bread slathered with some garlic butter, and you'll be the talk of the dinner table!!




1 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil


1/2 Lbs Shrimp


3-4 tbsp Minced garlic (I use the jar kind)


7-8 firm tomatoes, chopped (about 2 1/2 cups worth or so)


1/4 cup fresh basil (or more to taste, and more for garnish)


salt and pepper



10-15 cherry tomatoes, cut in half



Season shrimp with salt and pepper in a bowl. Spray a pan over medium low heat and toss in the oil and get warm. Add the shrimp and cook 3 or so minutes. Add the garlic, half the basil and the shrimp. Cook on lower medium heat for 12 minutes or so, and then add the last of the basil for another three or so minutes. Pull the pan from the heat and add the cherry tomatoes.


Boil some whole wheat pasta and serve. Enjoy.
