PENNE WITH SHRIMP AND SPICY TOMATO SAUCE
Paprika, cumin, and ginger lend their aromatic alchemy to a simple, no-cook tomato sauce. You can use the sauce with a wide range of ingredients(see Variations). One variation is vegetarian. With its competing spices, strong-flavored cilantro, and acidic tomatoes, this pasta dish calls for a simple Italian white--a pinot grigio, for example. Notes: I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned.

Tips for Making the Best Shrimp in Spicy Tomato Sauce:
- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm to the touch and have a shiny, translucent appearance.
- Devein the shrimp before cooking to remove the intestinal tract, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat.
- Marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking. This will help to flavor the shrimp and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Use a large skillet or saucepan to cook the shrimp so that they have plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough and rubbery.
- Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and seasonings to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the shrimp in spicy tomato sauce over pasta, rice, or your favorite side dish.
