Pasta is a popular meal choice for people who want to put together something tasty in a minimal amount of time. While there are all kinds of sauce choices you can prepare to have alongside pasta, one of my favorites is a spicy tomato sauce with shrimp.

Want to learn how to make it at home? Here’s how!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces peeled shrimp
  • 1 16-oz jar tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 300 g dry linguini

Instructions

Start by preparing the linguini pasta to the specifications of the box. 

While the pasta is being cooked, go ahead and put 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat and allow it to heat.

Once the olive oil is bubbling, add the shrimp, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, along with a splash of dry white wine, and cook on each side for about 1-2 minutes. Remove the shrimp and place on a plate.

Next, pour the tomato sauce along with the rest of the white wine, the rest of the olive oil, the rest of the cayenne pepper and garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt in the same pan on medium heat. Stir together, allowing the sauce to heat up and the ingredients to mix.

After about 5 minutes of heating, add the cooked shrimp to the sauce and allow them to cook together for about a minute.

Finally, add the drained linguini pasta to the pan, and mix the sauce into the pasta. Serve hot and enjoy!
