Pasta with Tomatoes & Shrimp

recipe

• Step 1
  Finely dice the onion & set aside.
• Step 2
  Season the shrimp with salt & pepper.
• Step 3
  Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp & cook for about 2-3 min per side, until pink & cooked through. Transfer to a separate dish & set aside.
• Step 4
  Add another drizzle of olive oil to the same pan, then add the diced onion with a pinch of salt & pepper. Cook the onion for 5-6 min, until translucent & softened.
• Step 5
  When the onion is soft, grate in the garlic & add any additional seasonings you'd like. We recommend oregano, garlic powder & crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for just a minute, stirring often.
• Step 6
  Pour in the marinara sauce & cook for 8-10 min, until slightly thickened.
• Step 7
  Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve a cup of starchy pasta water. Strain the pasta.
• Step 8
  Add the cooked shrimp & pasta to the pan with the marinara sauce. Toss to coat & cook for 2-3 min over medium heat, adding reserved pasta water as needed. Remove from the heat when the pasta is tender & nicely coated in sauce.
• Step 9
  Serve the pasta, garnished with fresh parsley, if you have any. Enjoy!
