quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

Shrimp fra Diablo (it means "like the devil" in Italian)

This is great! Serves 2-3

About a lb of shrimp deveined and peeled
About 2 cups marinara sauce remember buitoni or maybe you have some in the freezer from a past meal.
Red pepper flakes to taste. I like it a little spicy so I go with about 1 tbsp.
½ - ¾ lb. linguini

Put a pot of water on for the pasta with a dash of salt.
Put the sauce in a frying pan with the red pepper and heat it up.
When the water boils add the linguini. Stir right away and regularly as it cooks. You might have to turn the heat down a bit to keep it from boiling over.
When the sauce is simmering add the shrimp and cook until they are pink.
The linguini should be done by now. Drain it an put on a serving platter. Pour the shrimp and sauce over the pasta and

SERVE IT UP!! With some good, crusty Italian bread, some salad, grated parmesan cheese and some Chianti!!
