I only made two small changes to this recipe. I didn't have any linguine so I substituted thin spaghetti. I also used 15 oz diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings. I had slightly less than 1 lb of shrimp in my freezer. My biggest concern was the lack of any sweetener like sugar or carrots in the sauce. Pure tomato sauces are usually too acidic for me. This one most definitely was not. Perhaps it was the shrimp. Whatever it was, this dish was absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be making it again.
Verdict: Yum! This one's a keeper!

Glad you liked it! I have made it a few times since then. I like using more tomatoes too. Once I just left the shrimp in the pan instead of removing... but it does seem to be better if you remove them.
