Introduction

We're serious about the spice in this recipe. Whole-grain pasta and tender shrimp pair perfectly with a luxuriously rich, piquant sauce. We're serious about the spice in this recipe. Whole-grain pasta and tender shrimp pair perfectly with a luxuriously rich, piquant sauce.

Ingredients

    3 tablespoons olive oil
    4 garlic cloves, smashed
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    2 teaspoons sun-dried tomato paste*
    1 (14.5-ounce) can no salt added diced tomatoes
    2 tablespoons white wine**
    16 ounces bite-size shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
    1 tablespoon butter
    1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
    4 ounces whole-grain linguine or spaghetti

Directions

Bring a large stock pot of water to boil, and prepare the pasta according to package directions, omitting salt.

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. When the garlic starts to sizzle, stir in the sun-dried tomato paste.
Add the diced tomatoes, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add wine and cook for 1 minute.

Add shrimp; cook just until shrimp turns pink.

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the butter.

Drain pasta and place in warmed serving dishes. Top with shrimp mixture and parsley.

Serves 4 (1/2 c cooked pasta, 3 oz shrimp and 1/2 c sauce).

    I gave this recipe 5 stars, but wanted to point out that it doesn't reheat well. Something about the sauce consistency and fresh taste are damaged. So, I would suggest making this only when you are sure it will be eaten that day.

    Loved it! I made it last night for me and my husband and it was delicious. This dish is definitely spicy so if you are not into that then I would cut down on the red pepper. I made it exactly as recommended and I wouldn't change a thing- very rare for me. Great portions and surpisingly easy to make. - 9/16/09

    Pretty high on the calories and over the top with sodium! Maybe leave out the added salt and use low-sodium tomato paste & canned tomatoes. Way to much of both for me! - 12/11/09

    The calory count is still very high for the portion size.
    It comes to 2 ounces of PASTA per serving. You can cut out the oil & butter without sacrificing flavor. You can always add a drizzle of flavored oil on top of your serving. Me,I add
    more heat.

    Very yummy. I cut way back on the pepper flakes because my family are nice spicy folk. 1/8 tsp was enough to leave a suggestion of spicy for us. - 9/15/09

    Not bad, good heat level. The sodium level was too high. A switch to fresh tomatoes brightens the flavor profile and cuts out a lot of the salt. Dicing a few tomatoes takes about as long as it takes to open a can. - 2/17/10

    Not as much sauce as I hoped for but surprisingly simple, flavorful and SPICY! Can be easily made without the shrimp for a vegetarian option or sub chicken. I will definitely make this again :) - 9/4/09

    This is a winner! My husband is not a pasta person so I wondered if he would enjoy it. He finished it...there were no leftovers.

    I only used 1 tbsp oil rather than the 3 in the recipe but added 4 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese at the table, 1 per person. Stirred in the parsley just before serving

    We loved this.. I make my own tomato sauce and added the spices to it as well as a little Cheyenne pepper. Wasn't really sure about using shrimp but decided to give it a whorl. I gave this 5 stars because my husband and I actually prefer it to the meat sauce I usually make. yumm

    Substituted clam juice for wine. Added tablespoon of capers. Added 2 t of anchovy paste for richness. Eliminated butter and only used half the oil. YUM! - 8/3/10

    Fabulous! I added red peppers and added them about 15 minutes before the end of cooking so that they softened just enough. - 10/26/09

    made this for guest tonight and they loved it. Doctored it up a bit with adding assorted fresh mushrooms, green peppers and
    fresh jalapeno peppers. Everyone raved about it. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Has anyone else noticed - the nutritional breakdown does not include the butter. 1 Tablespoon of butter is around 100 cals - depending on what kind - so thats another 25 cals per serving! Wow... - 6/8/10

    LOVE this! Bit bland as-is, but we've been tweaking it. Fire roasted toms + italian seasoning, regular tom paste + extra sundried toms (don't skimp!), red bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms, capers, white pepper, & a bit more wine make it perfect. Kids beg for it. New family favorite! - 10/26/11

    This was good, though I thought it needed extra hot sauce. We had extra shrimp with sauce which we ate with brown rice and I though the rice was even better than the pasta. - 8/23/10

    Just made this - love it! I used less oil, lots of red pepper, and added green peppers, capers, and anchovy paste, as was suggested by several others. WOW! What I did was make enough sauce for tomorrow, but only used enough shrimp for tonight's meal. I'll add more shrimp tomorrow... - 8/22/10

    I'm making this right now, but I used actual sun-dried tomatoes instead of the paste. It smells wonderful!
    Okay, we ate this, but I didn't think it was spicy at all. I actually added more red pepper (doubled amount), and next time I will probably add even more. It did have a very good flavor.

    My favourite dinner out has always been Seafood Linguine. However, I'd never put those hot peppers on it and spoil the taste. But that's just me. Try adding a little plain lite-yogurt for a blush sauce,. half a can of tomato paste, half cup do grated fresh parmesan cheese, and a dozen scallops.

    My hubby made this for dinner tonight - so yummy! He omitted the butter and increased the red pepper flakes to 2 teaspoons, so it was very spicy, but so good! I'll definitely try this one again, but I think I'll try it with spaghetti squash instead of the pasta to make it even better! - 6/1/10

    This was really good! I loved it... but I need to be careful next time with the red pepper flakes. I added extra, but i have no idea how much. It set us on fire (but we like spicy). Will definately make again! - 10/20/10

    I was planning on having shrimp tonight. This sounds delish.
    I can my own tomatoes, and paste with no salt, so I will be using them. The sodium is crazy. Talk about water weight.
    My serving will be half the pasta so I can get my veggies and fruit in today.

    Tomatos and shrimp????? I love both ingredients but together? I have never tried anything like this but the video made it look so easy, I will definately take the chance. And no, I do not even use cocktail sauce with shrimp either. Maybe I am just wierd that way. Sushi doesn't use tomatos. - 2/10/10

    Made it last night. Had to cut it in half as only two of us. As another writer said, you might want to cut back on the red pepper. DH like it, but it was a bit much for me. I didn't have tomato paste in the house and was using frozen tomatoes from the garden. Got to find the paste in a tube. - 12/2/09

    Delicious! Observation: I made 1/2 the recipe for lunch today. I panicked that there would not be enough liquid, so I added the whole can of diced tomatoes. In hindsight, I hadn't realized the shrimp would add liquid to the final product. - 10/4/19
