This is pretty tasty. I did add minced galic to the oil and shrimp in step 1. And as I didnt have any rice I served it over noodles, which was pretty good but think it would have been better if I had the rice.

Super easy to make. I used frozen shrimp, making it even easier, I think. Also, I used two cans of diced tomatoes w/ basil, garlic & oregano (I used Red Gold brand). This made it really saucy and added a really nice flavor w/out having to add in my own herbs and seasonings. Excellent over rice.
