The spicy sauce is full of flavor from fresh minced garlic, ginger, and onion all sautéed with a white wine and tomato reduction. Then to top things off, tender shrimp and al dente pasta that makes this dish into a true "chefs kiss" creation.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs whole raw shrimp peeled and deveined (I used 16-20 size) —thawed and drained
  • 2 cups yellow or sweet onion diced extra fine
  • ½ cup ginger fresh, diced extra fine*
  • 3 ea garlic cloves diced extra fine
  • 1 ea 28 oz. can diced tomatoes —do not drain
  • ¾ cup white wine
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • optional garnish: fresh chopped parsley parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large frypan on medium high. Add onions, garlic and ginger and continue to cook until onions become translucent.
    A skillet is filled with sauteed ginger, garlic, and onion with a wooden spoon for stirring. Extra knobs of ginger, garlic cloves, and an onion sit to the side.
  • Stir in tomatoes, wine, and salt, and pepper. When sauce begins to boil, reduce heat to medium low and continue to simmer until most of the liquid has been reduced and sauce has thickened (~15-20 min.)

Notes

*Do not grate the ginger as this will change the texture of the sauce.
