  • 0.5 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1-2 Tbsp. (if needed)
  • 0.5 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 very ripe red tomatoes, chopped
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley leaves or American, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped

  7. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
  8. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together.
