Note

For best results, use fresh tomatoes if available, or high-quality canned diced tomatoes.

Do not overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough. They are done when they turn pink and curl into a C-shape.

This dish pairs well with steamed rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your preference for heat.

If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully thawed and patted very dry before cooking to ensure proper searing.
