Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente.
3. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
1. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Stir in the chili powder and cook for another 30 seconds.
1. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimps to the skillet.
2. Cook the shrimps for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
1. Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down and form a sauce, about 5-7 minutes.
2. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
1. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly with the sauce.
2. Cook for 1-2 minutes more to allow the flavors to meld together.
1. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
2. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Tips:
