Spaghetti, Tomato Sauce and Shrimp

Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions, until the al dente stage.

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.

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.
