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.
SHRIMP IN TOMATO BASIL CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Rinse shrimp and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp and cook for approximately 1-1/2 minutes on each side, or until shrimp have just turned pink on both sides. Transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside (leave any juices in the skillet).
- In the same skillet, add garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly (about 30 seconds).
- Add heavy cream and diced tomatoes with juices, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until slightly thickened (stirring frequently).
- Remove skillet from heat and add fresh basil. Stir to combine. Season cream sauce with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Return shrimp to skillet. Serve over your favorite cooked pasta, if desired.

SAUTEED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Put the flour on a plate and season with a healthy amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to combine evenly. Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour to coat all sides.
- Heat the butter and oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat until butter stops foaming and just starts to turn a light brown. Add the shrimp, and give it a toss, saute for 5 minutes until the shrimp is firm and there is a crispy coating on the outside. Remove the shrimp to a side plate and cover to keep warm.
- Put the pan back on the heat and add the garlic and shallots. Cook and stir for 1 minute until soft. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth, give it a stir and let it cook down for 1 minute to thicken slightly. Put the shrimp back in the pan and coat in the lemon sauce. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Steps:
- In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, scallions, garlic, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until the greens of the scallions are wilted and darkened with the oil and the garlic is tender and slightly golden, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and cook while stirring until the tomatoes are softened, about 2 minutes. Add the clam juice and lemon juice, bring to a light simmer and stir. Taste, and if the tomatoes and lemon juice are too tart, add sugar and stir.
- Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook on 1 side until the shrimp begins to turn opaque and curl slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Then toss and cook until they just begin to turn pink on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. (Shrimp cooks fast and there's a thin line between done and overdone; the best rule is to remove the pan from the heat as they begin to reach the finish line. Continue tossing and the heat of the pan will continue to cook them until done.) Serve warm or chilled.
LINGUINE WITH SAUTéED SHRIMP, TOMATOES AND PEPPERS
Here's a weeknight classic from Pierre Franey's "60 Minute Gourmet" column that was published in 1991. The recipe may be close to 30 years old, but its flavors and ease of preparation are timeless. First, a quick sauce is made of chopped garlic, red and green bell peppers, canned tomatoes and oregano. As that simmers away, the linguine is dropped into briskly boiling water and cooked for about nine minutes. While the pasta is cooking, the shrimp is sautéed with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes in a little olive oil until it just turns pink. When the shrimp is cooked through, it's combined with the sauce and a handful of chopped fresh basil or Italian flat-leaf parsley then tossed with the linguine.

SHRIMP ALLA MARINARA
This recipe quickly turns a batch of homemade marinara sauce into dinner. You can serve it right out of the pan, with crusty bread and a green vegetable. Or, remove the shrimp and toss the sauce with a pound of steaming-hot spaghetti or another long, thin pasta, then put them back together in serving bowls, placing the shrimp on top. Don't attempt to toss the sauce, shrimp, and pasta together -- the lively action needed to coat the pasta will break down the shrimp. You want them to be crisp and savory.

Steps:
- Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 garlic cloves and cook just until golden and sizzling. Add half the shrimp, placing them in one layer in the pan. (If you crowd the shrimp, they will steam instead of fry.) Sprinkle with salt.
- Cook, turning once, just until lightly golden and pink around the edges, about 4 minutes total. With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate. Discard garlic cloves. Repeat with remaining oil, garlic and shrimp.
- When all the shrimp are cooked, pour the sauce into the empty skillet, and bring to a lively simmer, stirring to scrape the bottom of the pan. Taste for salt and add more if needed.
- Stir in the shrimp, basil (if using) and parsley, and cook just until the shrimp are heated through. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use large shrimp for this recipe, as they will hold up better to the cooking process.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Be sure to season the shrimp with salt and pepper before cooking, and add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for extra flavor.
- For the tomato-mozzarella-basil sauce, use fresh, ripe tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. You can also add a touch of garlic or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- If you don't have fresh basil on hand, you can use dried basil instead. Just be sure to use a light hand, as dried basil can be quite strong.
Conclusion:
Sautéed shrimp with tomato-mozzarella-basil sauce is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the sauce is flavorful and delicious. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
