Shrimp in a Chunky Marinara Sauce
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
- 2 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp (about 30), peeled and deveined
- Salt
- One 35-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes (preferably San Marzano), cored and coarsely crushed
- 1 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper
- 8 fresh basil leaves, torn into quarters
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
- Heat 4 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Stir in the garlic and cook, shaking the pan, until golden, about 1 minute.
- Add as many shrimp as fit in a single layer with some space between each.
- (If you crowd the shrimp, they will steam in their own juices rather than get crunchy with a lightly browned exterior.)
- Cook, turning once, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt to taste.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate, leaving as much garlic as possible in the pan.
- Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the tomatoes into the skillet, season with salt and crushed red pepper, and bring to a vigorous boil.
- Lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer, and cook until lightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the shrimp, basil, and parsley and cook until the shrimp are heated through, just a few seconds.
