Add 3/4 pound of angel hair pasta to the boiling water and cook until mostly al dente.

Pour in canned diced tomatoes into the skillet with the shallots and garlic; stir and bring to a boil.

Once the pasta is mostly al dente, transfer it directly into the skillet with the tomato sauce to finish cooking.

Add the deveined, peeled shrimp to the skillet with the pasta and sauce; cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve the pasta in a bowl, topped with shrimp and sauce, fresh basil, and grated parmesan cheese.
