Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
- Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
- Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.
MARTHA'S SHRIMP, TOMATO, AND BASIL PASTA
I got this recipe from Martha Stewart's Great Food Fast recipe book. I love this recipe! I do add cajun seasoning and extra garlic, which is not called for in the original recipe. I like to use Del Monte's basil, garlic, and oregano diced tomatoes. This is good with or without the fresh basil. This serves four, but in my boyfriend and my case, it only serves two.

ITALIAN SHRIMP AND PASTA
We like pasta with Italian tomato sauces, and this recipe is one we make often. It's heavy on the shrimp and light on the pasta, and that's the way we like it...we can remember when shrimp was unheard of in our budget, so I guess we're making up for it now!

SHRIMP AND TOMATO PASTA
Frozen shrimp is a freezer staple that can be counted on to save dinner any night - simply thaw to use them whenever needed. Here, shrimp and spaghetti are tossed with juicy cherry tomatoes, which are gently simmered until they burst and turn saucy. This dish is best with ripe, in-season cherry tomatoes, but the aromatic fennel seeds and garlic infused in the oil will coax maximum flavor out of less enthusiastic tomatoes while adding depth to the sauce.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the shrimp, season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a dish and set aside. Discard any excess liquid in the pan.
- Add the remaining 6 tablespoons oil and the garlic cloves to the same pan and cook over medium-low, turning the garlic a couple of times until light gold and fragrant, taking care not to burn them, about 4 minutes. Add the fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, stir and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium and add the cherry tomatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
- Cook the tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and get saucy, 25 to 30 minutes. While the tomatoes cook, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil for the pasta. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the shrimp with any juices to the tomatoes to reheat for a couple of minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning.
- Set the pasta pot next to the saucepan and use tongs to transfer the spaghetti to the tomatoes and shrimp. The starchy water clinging to the spaghetti will make for a tasty and silky sauce. (You can drain the spaghetti, if you prefer. If you do, reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water to add as needed for a silky sauce.) Remove the pan from the heat, add the basil and toss well. Season with black pepper to taste and serve.

Steps:
- Whisk 1 tablespoon wine, egg white and cornstarch in medium bowl to blend. Mix in shrimp; sprinkle generously with salt. Let stand 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite.
- Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Drain shrimp; add to skillet. Stir 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic and remaining 1/2 cup wine and simmer until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drain pasta; divide between large shallow bowls. Using tongs, place shrimp atop pasta. Boil sauce in skillet until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Spoon sauce over shrimp. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
- If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. However, fresh basil will give you a more intense flavor.
- You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your taste. If you like things spicy, add more. If you don't like spice, use less or omit them altogether.
- Serve the shrimp and pasta immediately, while it's hot and fresh.
