    Ingredients

Add the peeled tomatoes cut into small pieces and cook until the tomatoes start to break down, stirring occasionally. Then, pour the shrimp cooking water seasoned with a little salt and boil over medium-high heat. When starts boiling, reduce to medium-low heat, add the pasta and simmer about 8 to 10 minutes.
