Gumbo Spaghetti

I don't know where I come up with these recipes or "experiments" as my eldest Jordan says. We only have so much money when your unemployed so I look in my cupboards and in my freezer and think to myself "well what are we making tonight" and my crazy head says "hmmmm that sounds good together" and it goes from there!


Ingredients:
2 lbs shrimp peeled and de-veined
4 Roma tomatoes chopped
1 16 oz bag of egg noodles gluten free
EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 jar of Classico Tomato and Basil Spaghetti sauce
1 orange bell pepper chopped in to bite size pieces no seeds
2 TBSPS minced garlic
4 large mushroms sliced
4 tsps diced white onions (dried)

Directions:
In a saucepan, add EVOO, saute onions, garlic, and peppers on Medium high heat until onions are opaque. Add tomatoes and some more EVOO. Add mushrooms and shrimp, cook while stirring, add spaghetti sauce, cover and simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until shrimp turns pink. Meanwhile as spaghetti is simmering, cook noodles to Al dente, drain. add EVOO to noodles to prevent them from sticking together.

We serve our noodles separately from our sauce for potion control reasons. one scoop of noodles with 2 scoops of spaghetti sauce with shrimp is so yummy!  Parmesan cheese on top of course!! serves 4-5.
