How to Make Shrimp With Sun Dried Tomato Basil Sauce

  1. Place sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak for 5-10 minutes to reconstitute.
  2. Once softened, finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and set aside. Reserve 1/4 cup of the soaking liquid.
  3. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Sauté minced garlic and chopped onion for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  6. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  7. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), chopped sun-dried tomatoes, reserved soaking liquid, tomato juice, and balsamic vinegar.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
  9. Add the cooked pasta and chopped basil to the skillet. Toss to combine.
  10. Simmer for another minute, until heated through.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
  12. Season with black pepper to taste.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
