Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Opt for fresh shrimp, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful herbs.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Add the tomatoes and herbs at the end of cooking: This will help to preserve their flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: A sprinkling of fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
