Spicy Shrimp Marinara

Step 1

Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. (It should taste like the ocean!) When the water is boiling, cook the noodles al-dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the water from the post once the noodles are finished.

Step 2

Prepare your shrimp by removing the shells. Tails are optional. You can leave on or take off, as you wish.

Step 3

While the water is coming to a boil, heat the olive oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-low heat. Add in the shrimp, and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add in the chopped garlic with the shrimp, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Add in the dry white wine and red pepper flakes. Add in the marinara, and bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low.

Step 6

When the pasta is done and drained, combine the pasta and sauce and the reserved pasta water, and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Plate, and top with the parmesan cheese and serve hot!
