Garlic Shrimp in Tomato Sauce


I love shrimp!  They are wonderful little bites of joy!  I'm so used to just doing them fried or scampi, but I recently came up with this variation that I really like. 

Garlic Shrimp in Tomato Sauce

1 bag of medium pre-cooked Shrimp - remove tails
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 Tbsp. real butter
1 15 oz. can crushed tomatoes (or you can put petite tomatoes in a food processor to puree)
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. Basil
1 - 2 dashes hot sauce (based on preference)

Remove tails from shrimp and drain to remove most of the water.  In a skillet, saute' butter and garlic for a couple of minutes.  Add lemon juice, pepper, basil, hot sauce and finally, the crushed tomatoes.  Allow to simmer until the sauce cooks down and becomes slightly thicker.  Add shrimp and cook just 3 or 4 minutes, just to head the pre-cooked shrimp.

Serve and Enjoy!
