Easy Shrimp Marinara

1. 1

   In a large pot, over low heat, add a few tablespoons of olive oil, the onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Saute until just softened. If you are going for the spicy version, go ahead and add in the crushed red pepper flakes in now.

3. 3

   Add the crushed tomatoes into the pot as well as a couple handfuls of torn basil leaves.

4. 4

   Simmer for 3 hours. Taste for salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Right before you are ready to serve go ahead and add in the shrimp. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or just until the shrimp begin to curl and are a nice opaque white.

6. 6

   I served the shrimp over whole grain linguini, finished with some fresh cracked pepper and a drizzle of basil olive oil.
