NOTES : Note: cook fresh shrimp for a maximum of 3-4 minutes or they will
get tough.
Lucy's version: use one and a half times the tomatoes, arugula, and shrimp,
increase the other non-pasta items, and substitute K Paul's seafood
seasoning for salt. When making this substitute, I halve the cayenne pepper.
