Step 1
Spread shrimp on a plate and sprinkle both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Let thaw until ready to use.

Step 2
Heat 4 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over low-medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and is just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. If the garlic starts to crisp up quickly, turn the heat down slightly.

Step 3
Add the red pepper flakes and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4
Toss in 1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped tomatoes and their juices, 1 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer and cook (stirring occasionally) for 15-20 minutes.

Step 5
While the tomatoes are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta as directed. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 pasta water.

Step 6
Add shrimp to tomatoes and cook 3-4 minutes, just until shrimp are no longer translucent (but no longer!). Add in pasta and pasta water and toss to combine.

Step 7
Top with basil, a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of salt.

Step 8
Eat up!
