This is one of those things that is always great at an Italian Ristorante, or sometimes your local pizza place, but it is so simple to do it at home.
I think I enjoy the sauce with some bread even more than with linguine, but, either way, a great dish.
I omitted the crushed red pepper because Lea does not like the heat, but a little crushed red pepper is nice in this dish.
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 table spoons crushed / chopped garlic
6 fresh basil leaves torn
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
1 pound of large or jumbo shrimp cleaned and deveined
¼ cup of dry white wine
½ cup clam juice
10 oz of canned plum tomatoes – or you can use the whole 28 oz can if you like
Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over Linguine
Heat the olive oil in a wok or stock pot that has a lid
Add the garlic and sauté for a few minutes, until it softens a bit and releases its aroma, but don’t brown it.
Add the herbs and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
add the wine simmer for a few minutes then add the clam juice.
Cook for about a minute more and then add the tomatoes. Break the tomatoes with a spoon and simmer covered for about 10 minutes.
Season with a little salt and pepper at the end, if it is needed at all.
5 minutes before you intend to eat, add the shrimp. When the shrimp are cooked through, serve over linguine.
