Prep Pasta Water and Ingredients
Bring a large sauce pot filled with cold water, to boil.
While the water comes to a boil, prep all your ingredients.
For the Shrimp and Sweet Pepper Sauce
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet.
Sprinkle the shrimp with a pinch of salt and sear the shrimp for about 1 minute, turning once. Then transfer the seared shrimp to a plate and set aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in the same skillet and sauté together the garlic, red onion, green and red peppers for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes, basil, chilli pepper, salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes.
Add in the white wine and allow the wine to reduce for a little for approximately 2 minutes.
Stir in the seared shrimp and butter and simmer on low heat for about 8 minutes
Cook Pasta While Sauce Simmers
At this point your water should be at a roaring boil.
Salt the water and add in the pasta. Cook according to package directions.
When pasta is al dente, drain the pasta and return to the pot.
Toss the pasta with al little of the pepper sauce.
Place the pasta on a serving platter.
Pour the remaining shrimp sauce over the pasta.
Sprinkle with the grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and chopped parsley.
You can bring the whole platter at the table and let everyone help themselves. Or, plate individual servings of pasta twirls topped with shrimp, cheese and parsley.
