Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the shrimp by thawing if needed, then peel, devein, and remove the tails. Slice the onion and red pepper, mince the garlic, and have the tomatoes, seasonings, and lemon juice ready.

Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, red pepper, and garlic, and saute for 4 to 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juices. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the vegetables are tender.
