Instructions

Measure out all ingredients. Thaw shrimp completely, pat dry, and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for about 1 minute and 20 seconds per side. Remove immediately and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and add diced onions. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.
Add garlic and 3/4 cup chicken broth. Bring to a gentle bubble and let reduce for 4–5 minutes.
Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth and tomato paste until smooth.
Add fire-roasted tomatoes, soy sauce, hot sauce, oregano, basil, mustard powder, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let cook for 10–15 minutes until thickened and flavorful.
Reduce heat to low and return shrimp (with juices) to the skillet. Partially cover and heat through for about 45 seconds.
Serve immediately over pasta or with crusty bread.

Notes

Adjust red pepper flakes and hot sauce to control spice level.

Sauce can be made ahead; add shrimp just before serving.

Thin sauce with pasta water if serving over noodles.

Seafood broth can replace chicken broth if desired.

A small knob of butter at the end adds extra richness.
