Instrucciones

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes.

Add the garlic, anchovies and 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes. Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the tomatoes, olives, white wine and capers. Cook until the tomatoes begin to break down and sauce thickens, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste for seasoning and add the sugar if desired. Keep warm.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes. Arrange the shrimp in one layer in the skillet and season with salt. Cook until pink on both sides and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes, turning once.

Arrange the shrimp on a serving plate. Spoon the puttanesca sauce over and around the shrimp. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.
