Dinner 3/18/10

Shrimp with Spaghetti


I decided sea food isn't really meat. I don't know if that's right or not, but whatever lol.

1 pound of jumbo shrimp (about 16 to 20), cleaned and deveined
1/2 pound of spaghetti
One pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 to 6 cloves of garlic chopped
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 red bell pepper
4 tablespoons butter
Parmesan cheese

Directions
Put a large pot of water on to boil for the spaghetti. Once water boils, add pasta cook according to package directions. Meanwhile heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add shrimp and garlic and stir-fry for about 4 minutes until the shrimp is barely pink.
Add tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they break down, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add butter to the spaghetti, then toss shrimp mixture together with cooked pasta in a medium bowl. Top each serving with Parmesan cheese.

Today is also my brother's 16th birthday! He went and got his driving permit today :)
