- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro or parsley
- 3/4 pound penne rigate
- 1 pound medium shrimp, shelled
- In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the olive oil and the lemon juice with the paprika, cumin, ginger, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and the cilantro.
