Ingredients
Scale
Tomato Sauce
- 4 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- bunch of dill, chopped
Shrimp
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the tomato sauce: Chop the tomatoes into smaller pieces and heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, cover with a lid, and let them simmer for 4-5 minutes until they start boiling and break down into a sauce-like consistency.
- Cook the shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the pan with the tomato sauce. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Add garlic and dill: Stir in the minced garlic, chopped dill, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the pan. Cook for an additional 1 minute to combine the flavors and lightly soften the garlic without burning it.
- Serve immediately: Remove the pan from heat and serve the garlic shrimp in tomato sauce hot, pairing well with rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh tomatoes for the best flavor in the sauce.
- You can substitute fresh dill with parsley or basil if preferred.
- Adjust garlic quantity to taste for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on shrimp size and stovetop heat.
- Serve with a side of crusty bread or over pasta or rice for a satisfying meal.
