[workoutaholic]

These are from Tom Venuto:

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup chopped carrots (approx 4.5 oz)
• 1 cup chopped celery (approx 2 large stalks)
• 1 cup finely chopped onion (approx ½ large onion)
• 1 tbsp crushed garlic (or to taste)
• 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
• 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1-2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
• Sea salt, dash
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 lb shrimp
  Yield: makes 4 servings (approx 1 1/4 cups) of sauce and shrimp per serving

Directions:

1.) Cook pasta according to package directions. 2.) Meanwhile, heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large deep saucepan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, carrots, celery and onions.
3.) When the vegetables are sizzling and have started to soften, add the tomatoes, bring to boil, then turn down heat and let simmer.
4.) Meanwhile, in a separate skillet over medium-high heat, add the shrimp (shelled), and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until just cooked evenly. (alternately, use pre-cooked shrimp). Add cooked shrimp to tomato sauce.
5.) Add the herbs and spices: parsley, basil, oregano, crushed red peppers and sea salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally.
6.) Taste and adjust seasoning. If in doubt, go light on red pepper, garlic and seasonings and add more to taste, if desired.
7.) Serve over drained, hot pasta. Mix well and serve.
