Shrimp pasta with a twist

Well it is recipe number one and I decided to take a traditional dish like shrimp pasta and kick it up.
I started with boiling angel hair pasta, but you can use any pasta you chose. I added salt and olive oil into the boiling water before adding the pasta. Stir the pasta a couple times so it doesn't stick together.
In a separate skillet with high edges I added shrimp (you can use frozen or fresh)and fill the bottom of the skillet. Let them start to cook until they turn a light orange color. Then add store bought tomato sauce (any brand is fine), then add a touch of oregano, basil, parsley, salt, pepper, a spoonful of minced ginger, and a teaspoon on cinnamon. Mix well into the sauce. And let simmer.
Once the pasta is aldente then drain. Add to the sauce and mix.
Plate and Enjoy!
