Shrimp with a bite.

Ingredients

6 oz Uncooked fettuccine

1/2 lb Medium shrimp, shelled and deveined

2 slices Bacon, diced

2 cloves Garlic, minced

1/8 tsp Ground red pepper (or more to taste)

1 can (14-1/2 oz) Cajun or original styled stewed tomatoes, drained

1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce

1 Green bell pepper, cut into thin strips

Preparation

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Cut shrimp in half lengthwise. In large skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain. Stir in garlic and ground red pepper; cook and stir 1 minute.

Add stewed tomatoes with juice and tomato sauce. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add shrimp and green bell pepper; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp are pink. Just before serving, spoon sauce over hot fettuccine.

Cook's Notes

If using original style tomatoes, add a pinch each of ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground red pepper to tomatoe mixture; continue as directed.

Hint: Purchase bagged frozen shrimp that is already deveined to save time. Soak the frozen shrimp in cold water to thaw them prior to using.
