Kudos to my stepmom for this roasty, garlicky and creamy shrimp recipe.  She is a fantastic cook and prepared this dish for our family when we were vacationing at the Jersey Shore many years ago. As I always keep a frozen bag of shrimp in the freezer, I can whip up this delicious recipe with shrimp simmered in a roasted garlic tomato sauce with creamy goat cheese and fresh basil any night of the week.

gather the ingredients for this shrimp recipe

  • large plum tomatoes
  • onion
  • garlic
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • shrimp ~ pick up some in the freezer section of the grocery store
  • white wine
  • reduced sodium chicken stock
  • goat cheese
  • fresh basil
  • Parmesan cheese

I am a fan of easy dinner recipes that get a jump start in the oven. The base for the sauce ~ tomatoes, garlic and onions ~ roast in the oven. Wine and chicken stock add a complex and concentrated flavor to the sauce. Also, a generous amount of tangy goat cheese makes the sauce extra creamy.

cooking tips for shrimp in tomato sauce with goat cheese

  • Roasting of the tomatoes is essential.  It enhances and intensifies the flavor of even the most ho hum tomatoes. Along with a generous amount of garlic and onions, the roasted tomatoes make a splendid base for the sauce.  The natural sweetness of the ingredients emerges as they are roasted.
  • Use a white wine that you like to drink. A Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, or Sauvignon Blanc all are wonderful in the recipe. Just skip the “cooking wine” available at the grocery store. It contains salt and does not have a pleasant taste.
  • Frozen shrimp are perfect for this recipe. I love that they are readily available year round in the freezer section of the grocery store. Keep a 2 pound bag of frozen large shrimp on hand. Thaw the crustaceans quickly ~ just place in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes.
  • Crumble the goat cheese before adding it to the sauce. It will be easier to stir into the tomato and wine sauce and adds a hint of creaminess. Cream cheese can be substituted for the goat cheese if you would like.
  • A handful of herby basil is my first choice for this recipe. But in a pinch, substitute a teaspoon of dried basil.

Serve this shrimp recipe over pasta (regular or zucchini) or with a loaf a crusty bread to sop up all the delicious sauce. Or it can be enjoyed just as is with a side of your favorite vegetables.

    I can’t wait to try this one out. I love seafood dinners that are really low maintenance, like this one. I wonder if you think this could work with simmering chunks of fresh salmon? I feel like the flavor of the wild salmon would work well with the tomatoes and goat cheese.

      Salmon would be delish in this recipe!
