Directions:
Place the shrimp, oil, parsley, pepper flakes and salt in a small bowl, toss to mix, and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
For the sauce, in a frying pan, heat the oil, and when hot add the garlic.
Cook a minute or two until fragrant, then add the chopped tomatoes, basil and stir to mix.
Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or just until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down.
Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, and while waiting on the water prepare the shrimp.
In a separate frying pan, cook the shrimp in the marinade over medium heat until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Mix together the shrimp and tomatoes in one pan.
Wipe out the frying pan used to cook the shrimp, and heat the oil over medium heat for the breadcrumb topping.
Add the breadcrumbs, garlic, oregano, parsley, and salt and pepper, and mix well.
Cook the breadcrumbs, stirring frequently until they are light brown and crisp, about 3 minutes.
Pour the crumbs into a bowl and set aside until needed.
Cook the pasta according to manufacture's directions until it is "al dente".
Drain the pasta, return to the pasta pot,and toss with the shrimp and tomato mixture.
Cook over medium high heat stirring continuously until piping hot, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve the pasta in individual bowls, topped with some of the crumb mixture.
