Preparation

Step 1

Combine water and 1/2 cup salt in large bowl, stirring until salt dissolves. Pour salt mixture into a large ziptop plastic bag. Add ice and shrimp; seal. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Remove shrimp from bag; discard brine. Peel shrimp.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; saute 15 seconds. Add shrimp, and saute 1 minute. Add wine, cook 1 minute, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add tomato, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper; cook 3 minutes or until shrimp is done. Remove from heat; serve over pasta. Sprinkle with basil.
