This is a really easy recipe and comes together quite quickly. It makes a nice, healthy weeknight meal. I got this recipe from my sister and have no idea where she got it from.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb spaghetti
cooking spray
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons blackening seasoning (I use Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Steak Magic)
3/4 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic, drained
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions, drain and set aside -OR- **If you're good at multi-tasking, you can cook the spaghetti noodles and the shrimp at the same time and they should both be done at the same time.
  • Sprinkle blackening seasoning evenly over shrimp and set aside.
  • Coat a large, non-stick skillet with cooking spray and add oil. Place over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add shrimp to skillet; cook 2 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink.
  • Stir in lemon juice, tomatoes and pepper. Turn heat down to simmer and cook until thoroughly heated.
  • Spoon shrimp mixture over drained pasta and serve immediately.
