Diablo Shrimp Spaghetti

Not only is this recipe quick and easy, it’s dairy free (unless you add Parmesan like I did), and super healthy and delicious. You could probably substitute a chicken sausage in place of shrimp if you aren’t a shrimp fan and you can keep the heat level down to your liking…

Diablo Shrimp Spaghetti

Author: Nicky

Ingredients

• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 yellow onion finely diced
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 1 small can about 12 oz. of crushed tomatoes (I found some with added basil that was awesome)
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 6 ounces whole wheat thin spaghetti
• 1 1/2 cups 12 oz of raw, deveined, de-tailed shrimp

Instructions

• Bring a large pot of water with some salt to a boil.
• While the water is boiling, dice your onion. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, diced onion, dried oregano and 1/2 tsp of chili flakes. Cook, until soft, approx. 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Add crushed tomatoes and sugar to pan. Reduce heat slightly and let simmer until sauce begins to thicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Add pasta to boiling water and cook for about 9 minutes.
• While pasta is boiling add shrimp to tomato sauce and stir until all shrimp is covered.
• Let shrimp cook through until completely pink.
• Once pasta is finished, drain but save a bit of the cooking liquid.
• Add pasta to tomato sauce and shrimps and mix. Add some of the cooking liquid for a nice velvety textured sauce.
• Sprinkle with some more chili flakes and Parmesan cheese if you want.
• Serves 2-3
