Quantity Ingredient
⅓ cup Chopped shallot
6 Cloves garlic; minced

1 cup Bottled clam juice
¼ cup Dry white wine
½ cup Chopped parsley; flat-leaf
¼ cup Chopped fresh basil; or 1 tablespoon crushed dried basil

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, sauté shallot and garlic in olive oil over low heat until shallot is wilted, about 4 minutes. Add clam juice, wine, parsley, basil, pepper, and tomatoes. Partially cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

When sauce is almost done, fill a 5- to 6-quart (4¾ to 5½ l) pan with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 1 to 2 minutes (3 to 4 minutes for dry capellini), until just tender to bite. Drain well.

While pasta is cooking, add shrimp to simmering sauce. Cook, stirring, until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Cut to test.

Divide pasta among 6 wide, shallow bowls. Spoon shrimp mixture over pasta.
