Arrabiata Sauce with Shrimp & Linguine This pasta with arrabiata sauce is one of those dinners that takes 10 minutes to prepare – literally. The simple tomato sauce is made from canned whole tomatoes with a little bit of red pepper flakes added for heat. It can be made with or without shrimp – add mushrooms, chicken or just parmesan cheese if you’d like! If you have some white wine around the house, add a 1/2 of a cup to the sauce for extra depth and interest, but it is not necessary.

Add the shrimp to the tomato sauce and cook on medium high for 2 minutes, until the shrimp have cooked, then remove it from the heat.

Budget Friendly Dinner : pasta – $1.00 tomatoes – $1.50 shrimp – $6.00-$8.00 ** …………. total : $8.50 – $10.50 **I buy frozen shrimp at Costco in 2 pound bags for about $12. It is really easy to grab a couple of pieces out of the freezer for a quick dinner.
