Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimps, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound linguine
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1 head garlic, peeled and minced
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In a bowl, season shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • In a pot over medium heat, bring about 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes shy of package directions. Drain well, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • In a wide pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add shrimp and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or just until color changes. Remove from pan and keep warm.
  • In the pan, add the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Add onions and cook until softened. 
  • Add garlic and cook for about 30 to 40 seconds or until aromatic. 
  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes and cook, stirring regularly, for about 20 to 30 seconds.
  • Add crushed tomatoes and wine and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until reduced.
  • Add pasta, shrimps, and reserved pasta water. Gently toss to combine and evenly coat with sauce. Continue to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until pasta is heated through and al dente. 
  • Season with salt to taste. Divide into serving plates and garnish with Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot.
