4 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 tsp dried basil

Directions:
Remove the shells and tails from the shrimp
if needed. Place them in a large zip lock bag. Combine the olive oil,
sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, finely minced garlic,
and finely chopped basil together until well combined. Pour over the
shrimp then seal the bag and shake and gently squish the bag until the
shrimp are evenly coated. Place into the refrigerator and let the
shrimp marinate for 3-4 hours.
Heat the olive oil in a small Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes then cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Puree the can of whole tomatoes with an immersion blender. Add the tomato sauce and the pureed whole tomatoes to the onion and garlic mixture. Add sugar, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cover with a lid, reduce to low, and simmer for 3-4 hours if possible, stirring occasionally. Once the sauce has simmered and you are ready to serve it, taste and re-season if needed. Add the fresh basil and mix until evenly combined. Set aside.
Cook the pasta in salted water per instructions. Drain.
About 5 minutes before the pasta has finished cooking; heat a large grill pan that has been coated with cooking spray over medium high heat. Once the pan is HOT add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes then flip them and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
Dish up the cooked pasta into a serving bowl then top with spicy basil marinara and shrimp. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil then serve immediately. Enjoy.
