Description

Spicy shrimp sauteed in garlic with onions, bell pepper, tomatoes, and herbs. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.

Ingredients

¾ pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined, or more to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
½ yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1 (12 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 sprigs parsley, chopped, or more to taste, divided
3 leaves fresh basil, chopped, or more to taste, divided
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti, or as needed

Directions

1. Place shrimp on a work surface. Slice each shrimp horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like butterfly wings.
2. Mix 2 tablespoons oil, minced garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Toss shrimp into the oil marinade and set aside.
3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a pan over low heat. Add sliced garlic. Cook until golden and infused in the oil, about 2 minutes. Remove garlic. Increase heat to medium. Add shrimp and marinade; cook until shrimp is pink, about 5 minutes. Remove shrimp from pan.
4. Add onion, yellow bell pepper, and jalapeno to the pan; cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, 1/2 the parsley, 1/2 the basil, oregano, and black pepper. Cook until reduced to your desired thickness, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
6. Toss spaghetti noodles into the tomato-pepper sauce and stir in shrimp. Sprinkle remaining parsley and basil on top. Serve immediately.
