DEBBIE'S SPICY SHRIMP AND PASTA

Steps:

• Boil the pasta in salted water according to package directions.
• Drain well reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
• When pasta is almost done cooking, sprinkle about one tablespoon of olive oil in a cold nonstick.
• Turn heat on to medium high let pan warm for a minute or two. You want the pan to just be warm when you hold your hand over the surface.
• Add the shrimp, garlic, onion, lemon zest, and pepper flakes (or jalapeno) and cook stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Shrimp will just start to turn opaque but not yet pink.
• Add tomatoes, salt, basil, oregano, lemon juice, and white wine. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.
• Add in the 1 cup reserved pasta water.
• Taste sauce and adjust seasonings to your taste.
• Spoon over drained pasta and garnish with fresh black pepper and grated parmesan cheese.
