Total time: 45 min

Ingredients: 5 tiger shrimp; 3 1/2 ounces spaghetti or 3 1/2 ounces ribbon pasta; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 2 medium tomatoes, chopped; 1 garlic clove; 2 anchovy fillets; 1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme; 1 pinch sugar; salt and pepper

Servings: persons

1
Cook spaghetti or ribbon pasta 'al dente' according to package directions. Drain, but not rinse.
2
Meanwhile heat olive in a small pot to medium high heat. Add tiger shrimps and cook on each side for about 1 minute. Take shrimps out, drain and peel.
3
Cook onions and the whole peeled garlic in the same oil for about 1 minute until onions are tender. Add anchovy filets and crush them. Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional minute.
4
Add tomatoes and thyme. Do not cook. Tomatoes should only be heated through. Season with a pinch of sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Add peeled tiger shrimps and heat through for about 5 minutes.
5
Remove garlic clove and add drained noodles or pasta. Mix well, cover and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve.
6
NOTE: I use garlic only to flavor the tomato sauce. But if you like you can mince 1/2 of the garlic clove and leave it in the sauce.
7
NOTE: If you like the sweet taste of tomatoes you can use up to 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to bring it up even more.
8
NOTE: If you like more sauce add 1-2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water.
