Step 1
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Cook the whole grain spaghetti according to the package instructions for al dente. Drain and set aside.

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are pink and cooked through.
Step 7
Stir the cooked spaghetti into the sauce, tossing well to coat all the pasta with the spicy tomato mixture.
