Spicy Shrimp Artichoke Pasta Fresh Tomato Sauce
Rinse the artichoke hearts with cold water, drain and set aside to thaw as you complete the remaining prep work.
Put up a large pot of (heavily) salted water to boil for the pasta. Finely chop the garlic, divide the olive oil into 2 tablespoons and 1/2 tablespoon. Halve the tomatoes. I like to cut them in half crosswise instead of lengthwise. Not sure this makes a huge difference but I think they break down a bit easier.
Clean shrimp if needed (make sure to peel, remove tails and devein). See NOTES for my easy way out of this. Roughly chop the parsley (mostly leaves), measure and set aside.
Heat a very large skillet (needs to be large enough for sauce and pasta) over medium heat. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and then garlic. Cook garlic, stirring, for 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes start to break down.
Add the artichokes to the tomatoes, cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes until heated through.
Raise the heat to high, add in the shrimp, white wine, remaining 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook 4 to 5 minutes until shrimp are just cooked and sauce is bubbling. If pasta is not done yet, briefly remove the shrimp mixture from the heat and set aside.
When pasta is done, reserve about 1/4 cup of cooking liquid. I just take a heat-proof cup and dip it in.
Drain pasta and add to shrimp mixture along with one or two spoonfuls of pasta cooking water to loosen up the sauce {I used 2 spoonfuls using the wooden spoon that you see 2 pictures ago as measure}.Finish cooking pasta in the sauce over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring.
Remove from heat, stir in parsley and remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
Serve and Enjoy!
