I planned to make putanesca but wanted something extra--and shrimp was it. Good idea. I also diced and sauteed a baby eggplant for more chunk. Also I had mirepoix made from last nights meal so sauteed that in too.<br/><br/>I don't trust the crushed garlic in a jar. Have heard it goes bad. I used the frozen minced garlic from Trader Joes.

Absolutely delicious! Only changes I made were to leave out the capers, used a 28 oz can of tomatoes and let the sauce simmer for about 20 minutes for flavors to blend before adding the shrimp. Thanks, Barb for another great recipe which we really enjoyed.
