Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 4 pieces anchovy fillets (chopped)
• 1 can canned whole tomatoes (28 oz can)
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
• 2 tbsp capers (rinsed and drained)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated, optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and chopped anchovy fillets. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour the canned tomatoes (with their juices) into the skillet. Crush the tomatoes with a wooden spoon or potato masher to break them up into smaller chunks. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the kalamata olives, capers, and dried oregano to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are heated through.

Step 8

Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
