2 lbs. Frozen Shrimp (thawed) or Fresh shrimp
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried Oregano
4 scallions – chopped
1 bay leaf
1 onion – sliced
1 long hot pepper - chopped
5 cloves garlic – crushed & chopped
4 large tomatoes – chopped
¼ cup fresh basil - ripped
¼ cup fresh parsley – chopped
½ cup red wine
1 box favorite spaghetti
In a large frying pan heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the shrimp plus 2 garlic cloves and 1 tsp. dried oregano. Add ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes and cook, stirring the shrimp until they turn opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same large frying pan heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and sauté the remaining garlic, onion, long hot pepper and scallions heat until the onion turns clear. Add the tomatoes, parsley, basil and bay leaf and the remaining spices. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes, until tomatoes are soft and cooked. Add the wine and continue to simmer on low for about another 30 - 35 minutes.
Prepare the spaghetti as directed on box.
Stir the shrimp into the sauce and simmer on LOW about 1 – 2 minutes, just until heated through. DO NOT OVER COOK THE SHRIMP!
Add the spaghetti to the shrimp and toss. Garnish with grated Romano Cheese.
This is such a satisfying, tasty and festive meal.
Enjoy and Always Cook with Love,
Catherine

You know as much as I love shrimp (and I do) I've never made this dish. It sounds fantastic with red wine and basil and your photo is amazing.
I'm bookmarking this to add to my ever growing list of shrimp dishes to try.
Thanks and Happy Valentines Day.
