  7. Prepare Tomato Sauce: Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil (or 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons garlic oil) in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until hot.
  8. Add the bell pepper and sauti until brown, about 7 minutes.
  9. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, if necessary, and the garlic, and cook briefly until light brown.
  10. Add the onion and a pinch of salt (if the pan is dry and the ingredients look as if they might burn, adding salt will release the liquid in the onions), and cook until brown, about 5 minutes.

  15. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  16. While boiling pasta, grill or broil shrimp until just done.
