A delightful pasta dish combining shrimp, vegetables, and a flavorful tomato-based sauce.
Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining them, then set aside.
Ensure the shrimp are fresh for the best flavor.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crispy, then remove and crumble, reserving a tablespoon of the drippings.
Use a paper towel to absorb excess grease from the bacon.
Sauté the onion, bell pepper, carrots, and garlic powder in the reserved drippings until the carrots are tender.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Add the diced tomatoes, olives, basil, oregano, pepper, and salt to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Add the shrimp and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until the shrimp are opaque, about 10 minutes.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender.
Serve the sauce over cooked spaghetti and sprinkle with crumbled bacon and grated parmesan cheese.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch.
