Shrimp in Tomato Cream Sauce
"I found this recipe a bunch of years ago, so I really don't remember where I found it. I have, as is my nature, changed it a little. I think the only hard part of this recipe is "skinning" the tomatoes. I usually end up using a potato peeler to remove the skins."
- Ready In:
- 45mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 lbs plum tomatoes (Roma)
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3⁄4 lb shrimp, peeled and de-veined
- 1 lb linguine
directions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and drop the tomatoes in one at a time. Let them sit in water 30 seconds. This should let the skins peel right off.
- Once all the tomatoes are skinned, de-seed them and chop up finely.
- Now use the boiling water for the pasta. Follow the box directions for the pasta.
- Now in a large sauce pan, heat the olive oil over med-hi heat and saute the garlic for 15-20 seconds. Just enough to release the flavor.
- Then add the tomatoes and saute for 5 mins to make the tomatoes break down.
- Now add the wine if you're going to use it. Stir constantly until the wine evaporates and the tomatoes resemble mush.
- Now add the cream and shrimp, turn the heat down to med and continue stirring until thickened and shrimp have cooked through - about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve over pasta.

Fine it is missing something, Can't put my finger on it. It's fast to make "But" Good thing take time -
Just wanted to let you know that if you but an x in the bottom of the tomato before putting them in the boiling water they will peel easier.

I live in Rockville, MD which is 20 minutes north of Washington DC. I love to cook, read, go bike riding with my Hubby, Salsa dancing with Hubby, cook out with all our friends and travel. My favorite cookbook is one my mother wrote, From My Grandmother's Kitchen by Viviane Miner. It is a Safardic cookbook and has every single recipe my mother has ever made. I used to have a BIG black cat named Danzig, but he passed away the summer of 2005. We now have 2 cats, a calico who is mostly white (AH! White hair everywhere)and a black and white "Tuxedo" cat (He looks like he's wearing black tuxedo tails) They're names...Lilo and Stitch! And as pet-peeves go - why can't people use the ear piece for their cell phones when driving their cars?!
I was never really into cooking when I was younger. Even when I was just out of college, I was living on Can openers and Mircowaves. I don't even know when the change happened. All of a sudden, I wanted to cook. I wanted to bring joy to everyone'e mouths. I wanted to be.....a chef. Well, I've come a long way from the can opener; I put it down and just never looked back. Now the microwave is just a big defroster and I use the can opener occasionally (hey, friends are friends! Just because I grew doesn't mean I had to completely dump my old friends. Right?).
