Shrimp fra diavolo foodie style!

It's Sunday, I'm watching football and what goes better with Sunday football than a big bowl of pasta? (especially after the 5k I ran in the morning)

I indulged my craving and took this carbo-opportunity as a chance to clean out my pantry and fridge. While my pot of water was boiling, I defrosted and peeled some frozen shrimp I had in the freezer. I heated up my trusty large saute pan and set two cloves of minced garlic and about a quarter of a thinly sliced white onion to soften. I prefer white onions in tomato based sauces for the sweetness it adds to the dish. A can of crushed and a can of peeled tomatoes joined the onions and I let that simmer for about ten minutes.

As the angel hair pasta was cooking, I added some julienned basil and a few chopped sundried tomatoes to the sauce. Finally I added the shrimp and continued to cook until the shrimp turned pink. Along the way I continued to season with kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, garlic powder and a hefty dose of crushed red pepper.

After adding the angel hair to the sauce and giving it a twirl with my tongs; I garnished with a bit of parsley from my herb garden and dinner was served!

Who says you can't get good Italian in the burbs?
