Ingredients
- 1 Pound spaghetti regular or gluten free
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil

- 2 Cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
- 3 Tablespoons vodka

- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Teaspoon A1 steak sauce

Instructions
- Boil spaghetti until al dente. Drain and set aside. Remember, for gluten free pasta, it's easy to overcook, so watch closely.

- Dice onions, garlic and jalapeños and add to a pot with vodka. Cook for 2 minutes, or until softened. Add canned tomatoes, Bloody Mary mix, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, A1 sauce, and Tabasco. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce. Add the spaghetti and shrimp and toss to coat.
- Garnish with celery leaves and ground black pepper and serve hot.
Notes
Watch the shrimp: Overcooking makes them rubbery, so remove as soon as they turn pink.
Don’t skip the vodka: It enhances the tomato flavor without making the dish boozy.
Use quality tomatoes: Better tomatoes make a noticeable difference in the sauce.
Garnish creatively: Try celery leaves, chives or a twist of lemon for brightness.
