Ingredients

1 pound medium shrimp
2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup canned Italian plum tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Peel the shrimp and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and cover with cold water. Set aside.
Heat one tablespoon oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and the shallots and cook until soft. Add the tomatoes, wine and pepper and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Rinse and drain the shrimp. In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon oil and saute the shrimp just long enough for them to turn pink. Add them to the tomato sauce and mix well. Serve immediately.
