Introduction

With shrimp in the freezer and canned tomatoes on the shelf, you can make this anytime and it doesn't take much preparation.

Note: As there are many kinds of pasta available, the nutrition facts of the chosen pasta are not included in this recipe. I personally used Organic garlic & parsley linguine that are high in fiber and the combination was absolutely delicious.
