Shrimp Spaghetti, often referred to as shrimp boat spaghetti, because it could easily be made with a scoop out of the day's catch and ingredients easy transported on a shrimp boat. A nice shortcut, tomato based sauce made with shrimp, bell pepper and garlic and tossed with spaghetti noodles.

Shrimp Spaghetti

Because this dish takes shortcuts by using canned pasta sauce and tomatoes, here in the Deep South it is often referred to as Shrimp Boat Spaghetti, a dish that can easily be made with a scoop out of the day's catch with ingredients that are easily transported on a shrimp boat.

It's a speedy dish that comes together in no time but tastes like it simmered all day, perfect for those long work days. Use whatever sauce you like here, what you can catch on sale, or what is available at a lower cost. I prefer the Del Monte traditional version of their canned sauce, because it tastes great and is inexpensive.

There are several varieties available and you will almost always find them on the upper or lower shelves of the grocery store. The reason for that is that they are the least expensive sauces on the shelf. Yep, those clever marketing folks do that on purpose because they know that most shoppers will rarely look up or down, but almost always shop at eye level, so the more expensive, or more heavily advertised sauces will appear on the grocery store shelf at eye level.

As always, I recommend using Wild American shrimp, never foreign imports and if you are near us, preferably Gulf shrimp, when purchasing shrimp.
