Steps:
- Thaw the shrimp (according to the package instructions, or see the section above). When thawed, pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel or clean rag.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until it is al dente (start tasting a few minutes before the package recommends: you want it to be tender but still a little firm on the inside). Then drain.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter on medium high heat. Add the shrimp, basil and kosher salt. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side until almost cooked through, turning them with tongs (they will cook additionally when you add the marinara at the end). Remove the shrimp from the pan into a bowl, leaving the juices inside the skillet.
- In same skillet, add the marinara sauce ingredients, scraping any bits off of the bottom of skillet as you stir it together. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15 minutes.
- Add shrimp to the skillet and remove the heat. Serve over pasta and topped with Parmesan cheese (optional) and chopped basil.

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 fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a better flavor and texture than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices helps to infuse them with flavor. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to cook them over high heat for a short period of time. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality marinara sauce: A good quality marinara sauce will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. You can use a store-bought marinara sauce or make your own.
- Serve the shrimp marinara over pasta or rice: Shrimp marinara can be served over pasta, rice, or even quinoa. It's also a great topping for bruschetta or pizza.
Conclusion:
Spicy shrimp marinara is a quick and easy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices, then cooked in a spicy marinara sauce. The dish can be served over pasta, rice, or even quinoa.
