Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat until it is nearly smoking. Be very careful not to leave the pan unattended.
- Put the spaghetti in boiling salted water to cook according to package directions.This normally takes about 10 minutes.
- When the oil is hot, add the leeks and stir fry until they begin to soften.
- Add the red pepper and garlic.
- Stir fry for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft, but still crisp.
- If things seem to be cooking too fast, turn the heat back a bit.
- Add the shrimp, and cook, stirring constantly, until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- This will take about four minutes.
- Reduce the heat and add the tomato sauce.
- Heat through and season with salt and pepper to taste.
