Shrimp Puttanesca

By commercecook

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 cups grape or small cherry tomatoes, cut in half
• 1/3 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 1/2 to 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 pound medium shrimp

Preparation

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet and add the onion. Saute until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and chili flakes. Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, olives, and chicken broth (1/2 cup). Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to break down and sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Add a teaspoon of sugar, if needed.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in another skillet. Arrange the shrimp in one layer in the skillet and season. Cook until pink on both sides and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Arrange shrimp on a serving plate and spoon puttanesca sauce over and around the shrimp.
