Instructions
Place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs measure 1/2 cup.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs on a baking sheet; bake at 400 for 2 1/2 minutes or until golden brown.
Transfer to a shallow plate; cool completely. Slice goat cheese crosswise into 4 rounds. Press both sides of each round into breadcrumbs. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet; chill.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onion and garlic; saut 5 minutes. Stir in tomato, water, sugar, and pepper; cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add shrimp and salt; cook 4 minutes or until shrimp are done.
Remove from heat. Cover; keep warm.
Bake cheese rounds at 400 for 10 minutes or until soft but still holding their shape.
Add pasta and 1/2 cup basil to tomato mixture; toss to combine. Divide pasta mixture evenly among 4 bowls; top each serving with 1 goat cheese round.
Garnish with basil sprigs, if desired.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 46 dollars per bottle.

Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris
Bright yellow/gold color, quite luminous. Superb smoky toasty nose, typical for this grape on limestone in Alsace (no new oak in our wines, just very long total lees contact). Some light reductive aromas that actually fit the style of dry Pinot-Gris. The palate is rich and creamy, with a velvety texture yet fully dry. It is an easy wine to drink now as there is no unnecessary weight. The finish is nice and round but fully dry. The complex limestone blend brings great acid balance and a certain weight. It should develop very nicely over the next few years.
