Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (16-20 ounce) package uncooked sweet Italian sausage
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano, NOT drained
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 teaspoons fresh minced basil ((or ½ teaspoon dried basil))
1 lb. peeled and deveined shrimp ((I used "Extra Large" shrimp 26-30 count per pound))
1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream, at room temperature
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Cooked pasta, for serving

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage in the skillet until no longer pink (about 6-8 minutes per side). Remove to a cutting board and slice into rounds.
In the same skillet, sauté the garlic and onion over medium-high heat until onion is transparent (about 5-7 minutes). Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce and basil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low. Stir in the sausage and shrimp. Simmer just until the shrimp turn pink (about 3 minutes).
Stir in the cream and simmer for about 1 more minute, or just until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce over cooked pasta.
