Recipe Notes
If you do not like shrimp, you can substitute with broiled eggplant, chicken, or eliminate completely.
You can choose to add Italian herbs for even more flavor, however, its amazing without any additional seasoning!
if you cannot find red pepper paste, you can either
eliminate red pepper paste and the dish will still taste great as a creamy tomato pasta
