Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 stalk celery (chopped)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper (chopped)
  • 1 serrano pepper (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped basil
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasonings
  • ½ teaspoon ghost pepper seasonings (or more if you desire! Optional.)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound shrimp
  • 8 ounces pasta noodles (I used spaghetti noodles)

Instruction

  • Heat a large pot to medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion, celery and peppers and cook them down about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring.
  • Add the tomatoes, basil and seasonings and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer about 20 minutes (or longer) to let the flavors develop.
  • While the sauce is simmering, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your noodles to the packaging instructions, about 10 minutes or so to al dente.
  • Tuck the shrimp into the simmering pasta sauce and let them cook through, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain your pasta but reserve about a half cup of the starchy pasta water. Swirl the reserved pasta water into your sauce.
  • Toss the noodles with the sauce and shrimp.
  • Serve into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese, fresh chopped parsley, sliced peppers, and sliced cherry tomatoes.
  • Enjoy!
