Method
Step 1
Season shrimp with 1 teaspoon Kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add shrimp and cook until they just turn pink, about 2 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon, allow to cool slightly, then chop into bite size pieces. Set aside.
Step 3
To the same skillet, add diced onion and cook 4-6 minutes over medium-high heat, until softened. Add chopped garlic, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt, then cook 1 minute more.
Step 4
Add Tuttorosso Tomato Paste, then stir and cook until dissolved, about 1-2 minutes. Deglaze with vodka, then continue cooking about 2 minutes more. Pour in Tuttorosso Crushed Tomatoes with Basil. Add 3/4 cup of heavy cream and the chopped shrimp. Stir until well mixed. Add the cooked pasta, 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 5
Serve immediately with extra grated Parmesan, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and lots of fresh basil leaves.
