This is fabulous just the way it is! Shrimp, parsley and fresh basil from my garden. Thanks Ellie

Super simple--great week night recipe. I did a few things differently though.<br/><br/>First, and highly recommended, I cooked down the shrimp shells. With about 3 cups water, I boiled shrimp shells with a little salt for about 35-40 minutes. This made about 2 cups of shrimp "stock". Second I diced one medium fresh tomato just because I had it and used one 14oz can of diced tomatoes. I wanted enough sauce for a whole box of linguine so I added all the shrimp stock. It seemed a bit thin so I added 2 tbs of butter but I'm not sure this was necessary. I didn't use fresh herbs because I didn't have them. Once it was all together in the pan, I let it reduce for about 20 mins. I then added the shrimp to cook for about 5 mins and tossed the whole batch of pasta and sauce. SO simple and yummy!
