Sun-dried toma­toes are a won­der­ful sta­ple to keep on hand, espe­cially as we head into the colder months. They add a deep tomato essence to any­thing you put them in. Whether it’s pasta salad, a focac­cia top­per, or a warm shrimp and gar­lic stir fry, sun-dried toma­toes are a great way to intro­duce tomato fla­vor with­out hav­ing to add fresh or tinned toma­toes.

Sometimes you want a more aglio e olio-style dish instead of some­thing overly saucy and that’s where sun­dried toma­toes really shine. They add tomato fla­vor with­out becom­ing the star of the dish, allow­ing the roasted onion and sweet shrimp to shine along­side pep­pery extra vir­gin olive oil.

For this dish make sure to use a robust, full-fla­vored extra vir­gin olive oil. If you can, driz­zle a lit­tle cold-press or first-press ​“fin­ish­ing” extra vir­gin olive oil over the dish at the end, it brings out the fruity qual­ity and adds a won­der­ful dimen­sion to the fin­ished dish. Serve this dish with grilled bread as a tapas or try it over rice or pasta for a hearty entree!
