This is a very tasty, quick dish made up by one of my work colleagues. Shrimp are sauteed with fresh tomatoes, parsley, lemon, and chile peppers, and served over pasta of your choice. I prefer fettuccine.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 4 ounces dry fettuccine pasta

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 onion, finely chopped
