This creamy tomato based shrimp dish looks more complicated than it really is to make. Once you get your ingredients prepped and all laid out it comes together quickly and easily for even the least experienced home chef.

This dish features a rich and layered flavor profile, combining the savory aroma of sautéed garlic and red onion with the sweet, briny taste of shrimp. The marinara sauce adds tangy tomato depth, enhanced by crab-flavored bouillon for a subtle umami boost. Dried basil and fresh parsley contribute herbaceous notes, while a gourmet pepper blend introduces a complex spiciness. Creaminess from half and half and Parmesan cheese balances the acidity, with a pinch of sugar and salt ensuring a well-rounded taste. The result is a harmonious blend of savory, sweet, and umami flavors with a smooth, creamy texture.
