  2. Fill a stock pot with water and bring to a boil. Add pasta and salt to the pot. Cook until al dente, about eight minutes. Drain in a colander and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

Stir in half the diced avocado and half the basil. Transfer shrimp mixture to a platter using a slotted spoon, leaving liquid in the skillet.
  6. Add reserved tomato purée to skillet, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until mixture is reduced by about one-third.
  7. Add butter, stirring until it is melted. Then add remaining diced avocado and basil. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Toss finished sauce with cooled pasta until thoroughly combined. To serve, divide pasta mixture among individual entrée plates or shallow pasta bowls.
  8. Top with shrimp mixture and serve immediately.
