For a richer flavor, consider using homemade tomato puree or adding a splash of dry white wine to the sauce while cooking. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. Freshly grated ginger root provides the best flavor, but ground ginger can be used as a substitute in a pinch (use about 1 teaspoon). Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta or rice to find your favorite pairing with this pink sauce.
