• 1 pound medium-size shrimp (about 18), shelled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

How to cook Penne with Shrimp and Tomatoes:

• Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, basil and mint. Bring to boiling, lower the heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add the clam juice and shrimp. Cover, cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink.
• Meanwhile, cook the penne following the package directions. Drain the penne in a colander. Transfer them to a warm serving bowl and top with the hot sauce. Stir to mix well.
