with some adaptations by Kelly Eyring
12oz. fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined

½ cup white cooking wine or water

In a large saucepan cook the onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is tender. Combine the cooking wine or water, basil, oregano, bouillon granules, cornstarch, and pepper. Add to saucepan. Cook and stir until bubbly.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling water for 2 minutes, until it is al dente. Stir tomatoes into shrimp mixture and heat through. To serve, toss pasta with parsley. Spoon shrimp mixture over pasta.
