CAJUN SHRIMP PASTA
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 cups diced peeled and seeded tomatoes
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
3 cups chicken or shrimp stock
1 pound vermicelli pasta or linguine
1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined (can substitute chicken)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Saute the onion in the olive oil for approximately
four minutes. Add the garlic and stir. Add thyme, cayenne and black peppers,
and basil and cook at low heat for five more minutes. Add everything else
except for the pasta, shrimp, and cheese, and cook over lowish
heat for an hour.
Saute the shrimp in some butter and garlic until
three-quarters cooked (pink, but not totally opaque). Add the sauce and cook
for an additional two minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss well with the
grated cheese. Serve hot.
