Ingredients
- For the Sauce:
- 2 cups grape tomatoes
- ½ medium onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeño, chopped (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
- For the Shrimp:
- 1 pound uncooked, thawed raw shrimp (tail off)
- For Garnish:
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Sauce: In an 11×7 oven-safe dish, add the grape tomatoes, onion, green pepper, jalapeño (if using), garlic, tomato paste, salt, pepper, olive oil, and cumin. Stir everything together.
- Bake the Sauce: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Finish the Sauce: Once cooked, use a fork to burst the tomatoes and stir the mixture.
- Add the Shrimp: Add the uncooked shrimp to the dish and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer a bit more heat, add extra jalapeño or a dash of red pepper flakes.
- This dish is delicious served over rice, couscous, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
- For a lighter version, you can use zucchini noodles instead of traditional pasta for serving.
