Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
- Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
- Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

FETTUCCINE WITH SHRIMP, TOMATOES AND BASIL
My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and came across several folders full of recipes that she had clipped from magazines and newpapers over the years. This came from the Houston Post (no longer in circulation) 1990. The article was promoting a cookbook by Bon Appetit called "Too Busy to Cook". This is a nice, quick and easy meal!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt and re-boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente.
- Place the pine nuts on a cookie sheet and put in the oven for about 3 minutes, until slightly browned. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, stack the basil leaves and slice into julienne strips. Use a very sharp knife to avoid bruising the basil, causing it to turn black. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add the shrimp to the hot pan. Cook for 1 minute before turning and cooking on the other side. Add the tomatoes to the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and add the basil, garlic, red pepper, and half the pine nuts. Adjust seasoning.
- When pasta is al dente, drain and toss it in the saute pan with the shrimp/tomato/herb mixture. Divide among 4 plates and garnish each serving with the remaining pine nuts.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the taste of your dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much shrimp or vegetables to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp are tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will add flavor and richness to the dish.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
- Garnish the dish with fresh herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine with shrimp, tomatoes, and basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of shrimp, tomatoes, and basil is a classic, and the fettuccine pasta provides a hearty and filling base. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
