Shrimp with tomato paste and capers

Description

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until done. Drain the water and return the pasta to the pot. Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of oil over high heat. Add half of the shrimp and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and shrimp, reducing the heat if the shrimp brown too quickly. Reduce the heat to medium, add the capers, red pepper flakes, and tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes soften and the sauce thickens, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sauce and shrimp to the pasta, toss to combine, and serve.
