Dinner » Seafood » Italian
Ingredients:
6 to 8 oz. medium sized shrimp.
Enough fettucini for two people
1/2 Tomato
A handful of diced onion
Mushrooms*
Pepper Strips (you can use fresh or frozen. If you use fresh, you want a yellow, red, and green)
Olive Oil
Spaghetti Sauce
Cayanne Pepper*
Garlic Powder
Whatever other stuff you want to sprinkle on. I added some cilantro because it was in the cabinet. Be creative.
* - optional, but recommended
The shrimp is pretty expensive, even that little. If you want to get something cheaper (I used cocktail shrimp here, because I got them for really cheap), go ahead. Fresh, de-tailed shrimp is the my favorite to get, but frozen, pre-cooked tailed shrimp is the cheapest.
I highly recommend using store bought spaghetti sauce for this because you don't need a whole lot and really, it's just more expensive and more trouble than it's worth to make your own.
Fresh peppers are recommended, but hey, a buck for a pound and a half of frozen ones. Can't beat that.
