Gluten-Free Healthy Shrimp Pasta

1/2 pound peeled and deveined shrimp

1/2 tbsp olive oil

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp Italian seasoning

8-10 oz of cooked pasta

2 tbsp olive oil

5 whole Roma tomatoes sliced in half with the ends removed.

1/2 onion diced small

1 tbsp minced garlic

2 tbsp capers

Pasta seasonings

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Fresh basil chopped

1/4 cup plant based heavy cream

1/2 cup plant based cheese

1. In a medium bowl, coat the shrimp with the seasonings: salt, paprika, and Italian.
2. Then in a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil on medium heat. Cook the shrimp for about two minutes each side until they begin to take on the shape of a sea. Once they are done, simply remove them from the pan and place them to the side in a bowl.
3. Then add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and allow that to heat up. Once it’s heated, place the sliced tomatoes in a circular motion around the pan.
4. Next, in the center, add your diced onions, minced, garlic, and capers. Follow this by adding your remaining seasonings: Italian seasoning, salt, paprika, pepper, and smoked paprika.
5. Once that is done, place the lid on the pan and allow this to simmer until the skin loosens from the tomatoes. This should take between five and seven minutes.
6. Then, using tongs, carefully remove the skin from the tomatoes. You may discard of the skin. Add your fresh basil to the pan, and using a tomato masher, gently pushed down on each tomato.
7. Give everything a good stir, then add the heavy cream and the cheese. Stir everything together again until it is nice and creamy.
8. Then add in the cooked pasta, the shrimp, and any additional fresh basil. Stir everything together really well and enjoy!
