    I love spicy food, and today I will share with you one of my favorite recipes: spicy shrimp in tomato sauce. A tender shrimp cooked in spicy, garlicky tomato sauce. Ready in less than 10 minutes!

    This dish goes well with almost any side. I like to serve it with Cajun Rice Dressing or Veggie Egg Fried Rice.

    Ingredients

    First, before we jump to the recipe, let me tell you what ingredients we will use.

    • Shrimp: I used fresh shrimp.
    • Tomato sauce: Use good quality tomato sauce.
    • Sweet and Chilli sauce: Any kind you have at home.
    • Garlic: Fresh!
    • Salt: To taste.
    • Red pepper flakes: If it is not available, use chili powder instead.
    • Chinese 5 spices: My secret ingredient.
    • Sesame oil: To give the dish a nutty flavor.

    “See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.”

    How To Make Spicy Shrimp In Tomato Sauce

    Add the shrimp, tomato sauce, sweet and chilli sauce, red pepper flakes, Chinese 5 spices and salt.

    One: Heat the sesame oil over medium heat in a pan, add the minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds.

    Top Tips!

    • Don't skip the Chinese 5 spice; it gives a fantastic taste to the shrimp.

    • You can also replace olive oil with butter if you like.
