This quick pasta dish can be made in less than 30 minutes, even if you are starting with frozen shrimp. It features canned tomatoes, shrimp and hot pepper tossed together with angel hair pasta. Easy enough for a weeknight but fancy enough for guests.
Tips
- You can make this spicier if you like by adding more hot pepper - but know your tolerances and triggers as spicy food can be a problem for some.
FODMAP Information
All recipes are based upon Monash University & FODMAP Friendly science at time of initial publication.
- Canned Tomatoes: Monash University has lab tested canned tomatoes, both round whole tomatoes, as well as Roma (plum). One problem is that most can labels do not distinguish what kind of tomatoes were canned. Both are set at low FODMAP green light serving sizes at 100 g (about ½ cup). The Moderate and High FODMAP levels differ, with the Roma tomatoes being lower FODMAP. Fructose is present in the larger servings. FODMAP Friendly has lab tested canned tomatoes as well; their image shows Roma tomatoes. Their lab tests determined a low FODMAP serving size to be 76 g (1/2 cup), with the max low FODMAP serving size set at 228 g (1 ½ cups).
- Chilli, red powdered: This chile powder lab tested by Monash University is New Mexico chile powder. It is low FODMAP in 2 g portions, but reaches “Moderate” at 3 g.
- Garlic-Infused Oil: Make your own Garlic-Infused Oil or buy a commercial equivalent for the easiest way to add garlic flavor to your food. Fructans in garlic are not oil-soluble, so garlic-infused oil is low FODMAP.
Please always refer to the Monash University & FODMAP Friendly smartphone apps for the most up-to-date lab tested information. Foods will be retested from time to time; in the case of raw ingredients, such as fruits and vegetables, results may vary. All lab tested results are valid and represent a snapshot in time. As always, your tolerance is what counts; please eat accordingly. The ultimate goal of the low FODMAP diet is to eat as broadly as possible, without triggering symptoms, for the healthiest microbiome.
