Shrimp in Tomato Sauce Mediterranean Style

Shrimp and tomatoes are a very Mediterranean combination. I use soy sauce in place of salt and add Worcestershire sauce to create a nice depth of flavor. You’ll get selenium from the shrimp, allicin from the garlic, and lycopene from the tomatoes.

Serves 2

Ingredients

3 Tbs. olive oil
1 Tbs. chopped garlic
1 cup chopped onion
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3⁄4 lb. peeled shrimp (devein, if desired)
Chopped parsley as garnish
Chopped chives as garnish

Procedure

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until it starts to turn golden brown, about 1–2 minutes.
2. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 2–3 minutes.
3. Add the tomato sauce, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add the shrimp and cook about 5–7 minutes.
5. To serve, spoon over white or brown rice and garnish with parsley and chives.
