Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Have all your ingredients for the sauce ready.

Heat oil in a large skillet over moderately high heat until hot, but not smoking and saute shrimp 1 minute per side. Transfer shrimp to a baking dish and bake in middle of oven until cooked through, about 7 minutes, while you prepare the sauce.

Add garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, over moderate heat 15 seconds, then stir in broth and tomatoes. Boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by two thirds. Swirl in butter and basil over low heat.

Place shrimp on a dish and pour over the sauce.
