Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Choose the right size shrimp: Medium shrimp are the best size for this recipe. They're large enough to be flavorful, but not so large that they're difficult to eat.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook them just until they're opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the sauce is flavorful: The sauce is the key to this dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a good quality marinara sauce and add some additional herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the shrimp alla marinara over pasta or rice: This dish is traditionally served over pasta, but it can also be served over rice. If you're serving it over pasta, choose a pasta that will hold up well to the sauce, such as spaghetti or penne.
