The shrimp man was in town yesterday. He sells fresh Gulf shrimp from the back of his truck. There is nothing else like it. I bought 5 lb. and used some of it in this recipe. Used my own home-grown tomatoes too. This dish was exceeeeeedingly delicious and nicely spiced. I served the shrimp and tomato sauce over linguine. As my Italian MIL would say--Molto buon!!
