It appears that this has become a general discussion topic about various ways to cook shrimp and pasta, since the OP is probably lone gone...
I have a suggestion for those who want or like a shrimp and pasta with a tomato sauce, and also for those who may not have enjoyed such a recipe to whom I suggest you should try this and see if it doesn't change your mind about shrimp and tomato sauce.
Shrimp Fra Diavolo
From Wikipedia: Fra Diavolo (Italian for "Brother Devil") is the name given to a spicy sauce for pasta or seafood. Most versions are tomato-based and use chili peppers for spice, but the term is also used for sauces that include no tomato, or that use cayenne or other forms of pepper. According to chef Mario Batali, the spicy sauce is an Italian-American creation and is rarely served in Italy.
