How to Make Tomato Basil Shrimp Spaghetti in 15 Minutes
I love this easy dinner. It comes together so quickly. In fact, in the time it takes to cook the pasta, the shrimp and sauce are done.
Start by getting your pasta cooking. We love using angel hair or a thin spaghetti, but any shape will wrk for this. While the pasta is cooking, make the shrimp. Cook garlic in some olive oil in a skillet. When it becomes fragrant, add the shrimp.
Just as the shrimp start to turn translucent in the middle, add a whole can of diced tomatoes, fresh cherry tomatoes and a handful of basil leaves. Bring it to a simmer then toss in the cooked pasta and cook until coated. The pasta will absorb the flavors of the sauce, the basil will wilt and the fresh cherry tomatoes will warm through.

Makes 4 servingsYou Will Need8 ounces dry pasta, like angel hair or thin spaghetti
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
DirectionsCook the pasta in boiling salted water until it is tender but not mushy. Drain.
Pat the shrimp dry then season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp in one layer then cook, flipping once, until they turn translucent in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the canned tomatoes and use a wooden spoon to scrape any bits of garlic stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the juices from the tomatoes have reduced slightly, about 2 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust with salt and/or pepper. Add the cooked pasta, halved cherry tomatoes and half of the basil to the pasta. Toss well and cook until the cherry tomatoes are warmed through and the sauce begins to coat the pasta, another 2 to 3 minutes. Serve in bowls with basil and a drizzle of olive oil on top.

It was easy and delicious. I rate it a five stars Reply Lisa June 23, 2014, 7:46 pm I’ve been making a version of this for years that my 6 year old never tires of. I also include sautéed portobello mushrooms and toss in fresh spinach before serving. It wilts down quickly with the heat. Top it off with fresh grated or shaved Parmesan. Please don’t ruin this dish with the kraft Parmesan powder stuff with the extra junk in it. Buy a chunk of Parmesan and grate your own. You’ll love it! Reply Bridget March 20, 2012, 8:44 pm Saw this and had to make it for dinner tonight, it was awesome! So simple yet sophisticated and delicious. I added some lemon and red pepper flakes and it was divine. Thank you for posting.

Just like the cooking blogs, I dont even have to cook if I dont want too, just look and dream.
I have made this dish, various ways adding or eliminating what I have or dont have.
Love you guys! Reply Katia March 16, 2012, 5:49 am So simple yet SO delicious! There’s something luxuriously comforting about the mixture of pasta, prawns, basil and tomatoes!
