Spaghetti With Shrimp and Eggplant (Aubergine)

I took Bill's suggestion and sprinkled my shrimp with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning Salt and let it sit while I prepared the rest of the dish. I used Italian eggplant, and 3 cans of diced tomatoes with 1 can of tomato sauce, 2 Tablespoons of garlic. I also modified the recipe to reduce the fat content. Instead of using 2 tablespoons of oil to saute the eggplant, I sprayed a nonstick frying pan with Olive Oil PAM spray and was therefore able to tastefully reduce the fat content by more than 50% (sauteed the garlic in only 1 teaspoon of oil instead of 1 Tablespoon in nonstick frying pan as well). Hooray for my waistline!

From the editor: when Bill made this there was an error in the recipe that incorrectly listed the measurement of the pepper flakes. I have corrected this. Thanks.

My comments are for those who just read the review by the previous reviewer, Bill de Bruler who commented on the fact that 1/4 cup of hot pepper flakes was too much for this recipe. I'd have to agree but also point out that the recipe called for 1/4 teaspoon, rather than 1/4 cup. This might explain why he thought it was a tad toasty. I made it with the pinch of pepper and loved it. Thanks

I would rate this one a five-star if the hot pepper flakes were omitted. I would omit the hot pepper flakes and use 3 cans of tomatoes and add 1 can of tomato and green chile's. Also for the next time I prepare the recipe I will devein and shell the shrimp then sprinkle cajun spice mix and let the shrimp marinate in it. If anyone attempts this recipe and uses 1/4 cup of the hot pepper flakes you will probably not be able to eat it if you cannot handle hot and spicy food. Believe me I am an amateur Cajun Chef and I could eat the dish but most people could not handle it. I will make this dish because it is rather quick and it is a one dish meal. I will however change it as stated in the beginning of this comment/rating.
