Ingredients

  • gluten-free spaghetti

    prepared according to package instructions

    1 package
  • coconut oil

    enough to cover the bottom of the sauté pan

  • fresh garlic

    pressed or finely minced

    2 cloves
  • sea salt
  • dried oregano
    1 tsp
  • cumin
    ½ tsp
  • chili powder
    ½ tsp
  • pre-cooked shrimp

    fresh or thawed

    1 lb

    13 oz
  • onion

    any color, diced

    1
  • grape tomatoes

    sliced or halved

  • garnishes: dried herbs and coarse black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    In a rondeau pan or large saucepan, cook the pasta according to package instructions.

  2. 2

    While the pasta water is warming, in a skillet or large sauté pan, melt the coconut oil and stir in the garlic, sea salt, cumin, oregano, and chili powder. Then add the shrimp and sausage, and sauté on a MEDIUM heat about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure they are cooked evenly. Next, add the onion and tomatoes and sauté another 5-10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent, the tomatoes have broken down in composition, and the shrimp and sausage are deeper in color.

  3. 3

    When the pasta is done, strain it and place desired amount on serving plates. Using a slotted serving spoon, pour shrimp and sausage mixture over the top. Garnish with parsley and coarse black pepper, if desired.

This stop-you-in-your-tracks tasty dinner is designed to be both satisfying and incredibly flavorful.

Customization & Variations

Feel free to adjust the spice level to your preference by adding a touch more chili powder or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat. While pre-cooked shrimp and sausage are specified, if you have other pre-cooked proteins on hand like chicken, they could be adapted. You can also experiment with different types of onions, as any color works beautifully here, and grape tomatoes can be sliced or simply halved.

Whether you're hosting a cozy dinner for two or feeding the whole family, this Shrimp and Sausage Pasta is a winning choice. Garnish generously with dried herbs and a crack of coarse black pepper just before serving to enhance its vibrant appeal.
