Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
3 Shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
2 Large Ripe Italian Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Chilly Flakes
1 pinch Saffron
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup White Wine
24 Large Raw Whole Shrimps (U-16)
2 tablespoon Breadcrumbs
2 tablespoon Parsley, roughly chopped
1 loaf Crusty Bread, ideally sourdough

Steps:

Pour half the olive oil in a frying pan and set over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallots.
When they are sizzling, stir in the tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, chilly flakes, saffron and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the shallots and garlic burning, then add the wine and cook for a further minute.
Add 1/2 cup of water and the remaining salt, bring to the boil. Stir, then reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer and reduce for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour the remaining olive oil in another frying pan and set over a high heat. When the pan is really hot, fry the shrimps for a minute, then remove from heat.
With the sauce still bubbling, add the fried shrimps and coat them well. Season well with black pepper, and breadcrumbs if sauce is too thin
Cook for a further 2 minutes then turn off the heat. Drizzle over a little more olive oil. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.
