- 3 scallions (cleaned and finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (peeled and minced)
- freshly ground Black pepper (to taste)
- 4 Roma tomatoes (rinsed; seeded and chopped)

Preparation steps
1.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions, until the al dente stage.
2.
Meanwhile, in a large saute pan set over medium heat, add the olive oil, scallions, garlic, season to taste with salt and pepper. Saute the scallions and garlic for about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and cook, stirring frequently until the tomatoes are softened, about 2 minutes. Add the clam juice and lemon juice, bring to a light simmer and stir. Taste, and if too tart, add sugar and stir to incorporate.
3.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook on 1 side until the shrimp begins to turn opaque and curl slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Toss, add the olives and cook until the shrimp just begin to turn pink on the other side, an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Do not over cook.
4.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta and the sauce together. Add a little cooking liquid if the sauce needs to be thinned. Divide among serving bowls. Garnish with basil and serve.
