Tomato Basil Shrimp (low FODMAP)
15 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-Free • Serves 4 • Ok to make-ahead: Steps 1 - 2
I just love a rich tomato sauce topped with parmesan and basil and when you add shrimp to that sauce it becomes an unexpected delight. Shrimp are proteins so they have no FODMAPs and you can use fresh or frozen shrimp in this recipe. It’s quick to make and will be a great change of pace for your weekly meal planning. If you’ve made some ahead, feel free to use our 30-Minute Pasta Sauce for this recipe and simply add the cooked shrimp, fresh basil, and Parmesan. It will be delicious!
Ingredients
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed (fresh or frozen and thawed)
2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
1 carton (26 ounces) diced tomatoes, in juice (I used Pomi chopped tomatoes)
1 teaspoon each dry basil and dry oregano
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
8 ounces gluten-free dry pasta (I used Andean Dream Quinoa Pasta)
1 1/2 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
Directions
(1) Cook the shrimp: Season shrimp with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil over high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
(2) Make the sauce: To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and heat for about 30 seconds. Add the bay leaves, dry basil, and oregano. Add the chopped tomatoes and their juice, along with 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have softened and are saucy, about 15 minutes. Remove sauce from heat; stir in cherry tomatoes.
Make-ahead note: At this point, you can let the sauce cool and then refrigerate the sauce and the cooked shrimp until you’re ready to put the dish together.
(3) Cook the pasta or rice: Meanwhile, cook pasta (or rice), according to package instructions. Drain and return the pasta to the pot in which you cooked it.
(4) Finish: Add the tomato sauce, cooked shrimp, and fresh basil; season with salt and pepper, and toss. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh grated Parmesan and additional fresh basil, if desired.
