This recipe is for those who love a bit of heat (in my case not a bit) and I used cayenne peppers and very hot chilli flakes in this recipe. You may want to replace them according to your taste. Enjoy.

Ingredients (2 persons):
- 250 g tagliatelle (fresh pasta is preferred)
- 250 g large size shrimps or prawns (cleaned and pre-cooked)
- 250 g cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves of garlic (chopped)
- 2 cayenne peppers (fresh & chopped)
- extra virgin olive oil (3 Tbsp)
- chilli flakes (1 Tsp)
Method:
- First, chop half of the tomatoes into smaller pieces (this will serve as the tomato sauce in the pasta). Keep & separate the other half
- Heat the pan, add extra virgin olive and then the chopped garlics
- Let them very slighlty brown and then add the chopped cayenne peppers
- Once the peppers are sauteed, add the shrimps and stir fry them until both sides are slighlty seared.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook them for another 3-4 minutes
- Once the chopped tomatoes are nicely sauteed and blended into a sauce, add the rest of the cherry tomatoes.
- In a deep pot, bring water to boil, add some salt and cook the fresh tagliatelle for max. 4-5 minutes
- Add the tagliatelle to the sauce and mix it with the sauce allowing the pasta to be cooked further with the sauce for a few seconds
Serve with parmesan and basil. Enjoy.

In the UK you can buy tins of cherry tomatoes which would be a good substitute for fresh (they are in a natural sauce) just like tinned plum tomatoes. Co-incidentally, I'm on the brink of making a pasta dish using them, today or tomorrow.
