Provençal Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups red peppers, diced
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 3 large cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can canned diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a substantial skillet over an elevated heat setting, which is typically characterized as medium-high. Rapidly sear the shrimp until they undergo a color change and turn pink, but are still not fully cooked; detach them from the skillet and place them aside for a moment. Introduce the bell peppers, onion, garlic, fennel seeds, and thyme into the skillet; cook until the onion becomes tender and softens in texture, approximately 8 minutes.

Combine the white wine, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes into the skillet. Elevate the heat to its maximum point, then gradually decrease it to a lower setting once boiling is achieved. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until all the flavors harmonize and blend together, roughly 10 minutes. Reinsert the shrimp into the skillet and continue to cook until they are fully cooked and have turned opaque, approximately 3 minutes. Introduce the basil into the skillet and season to taste with salt and pepper before presenting the dish.
