Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails removed) Coarse salt and ground pepper 6 teaspoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, in juice 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved 1/2 pound linguine 1 1/2 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces, plus extra leaves for garnish (optional)

Directions

Season shrimp with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 4 teaspoons oil over high. Add shrimp; cook until opaque throughout, turning occasionally, 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.

Make sauce: To the same skillet, add remaining 2 teaspoons oil and garlic; cook over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add canned tomatoes and their juice, along with 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have softened and are saucy, about 15 minutes. Remove sauce from heat; stir in cherry tomatoes.

Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain; return pasta to pot. Add tomato sauce, shrimp, and basil; season with salt and pepper, and toss. Serve immediately, garnished with basil leaves, if desired.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/27/2017   I think this recipe is perfection! This pasta dish is delicious and very simple! I originally made it with pre-cooked shrimp and in that case I just marinaded the shrimp, some garlic, and basil for about an hour before I started the actual cooking for this dish. It was really delicious and fresh tasting (and it was a huge hit at my house)! - Thank you for this great dinner!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/08/2013   Sorry. More comments from my below review: -Be generous with garlic, salt and pepper. Try taking the raw seasoned shrimp, put in a Zip bag with 3 tbl of olive oil and more minced garlic; shake and marinate about 30 min before cooking. -Use a PINCH of cayenne pepper & 2 or 3 shakes of hot red pepper flakes. Gives BIG boost in flavor w/0 making hot spicy. -Add basil and cherry tomatoes at beginning of sauce. Also adds significant flavor boost. -Cook sauce more than 15 min if too watery  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/08/2013   This recipe is fantastic. I made a few adjustments. The very first time it was a bit watery so I let the sauce boil out longer. ALSO: My additions to the sauce: * Cayenne pepper * Red pepper flakes * 2 more garlic cloves, minced I also added tomatoes and basil at beginning of making sauce. It adds a LOT more flavor to the sauce as it cooks and tomatoes are softer. The red pepper and PINCH of cayenne adds a bit of kick and a much more flavor w/o making it spicy hot. This recipe is great!!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/04/2013   I usually trust Martha Stewart recipes but this was very disappointing. Do not try it. It was so watery that it was like eating soup.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/29/2012   Although a good start, I found this too watery and bland for my taste. The second time I added sauteed diced onion and reduced the water by 3/4 and added a 1/4 cup of white wine. That brought it to the level of flavour I prefer.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/02/2012   I made this last night. I needed something to make with shrimp in a hurry for dinner. I didn't have cherry tomatoes, so I cut the water in half and used only a can of Aylmer Accents tomatoes with celery, green peppers and onions. I doubled up the garlic and added a splash of white wine and I must say this is my new in-a-hurry meal! It was absolutely delicious and it really did take only 30 minutes!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 2 stars       05/29/2011   I have to say - I was really disappointed with how this came out. I tried to double the sauce, which may explain why it didn't work so well. I found the sauce to be very watery versus just a light sauce. It seemed so simple, but really didn't come out well for me.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       05/08/2011   GREAT recipe :)))) even I made to perform like a pro :)))) amazing taste!!!!!!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/21/2010   I made this 2 nights ago and it was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed it with a lovely bottle of French Chablis. I'm looking forward to making this again!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/13/2010   we tried it with fettucine and extra 1/2 pound shrimp. very tasty.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/24/2008   This sounds delicious and easy ill try it this weekend! thanks  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/24/2008   My family won't eat the diced tomatoes in pasta, so I used crushed tomatoes instead. Also added black olives in place of the cherry tomatoes. It was wonderful.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/23/2008   We've made this numerous times and it is always a hit. Whole wheat spaghetti substitutes well for the linguine. Make sure you have lots of crusty Italian bread for dipping!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/10/2008   Family loved it. I used Italian style diced tomatoes and substituted red wine for 1 cup of water. I also added half the cherry tomatoes and a quarter of the basil while simmering. I'll definitely make again.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/07/2008   Made this lastnight! LOVE IT! I'm eating it for lunch too!!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/16/2008   very yummy!!!!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/29/2008   I tried this last night and it was great. A couple of pointers, I only used 1/2 the can of tomotoes and all the juice. I did not add any water. It was delicious. Try adding some scallops and clams and it will be even better.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/03/2008   i made this last night as a side to chicken stuffed with cheese, tomato, and basil (the recipe can be found on here) this was very yummy and the presentation was beautiful. when i make this again i will probably only add about a half of a cup of water to the diced tomatoes because the sauce was a little watery for my likings. overall this was very tasty!!!
