Hi everyone,
So, my partner used to work at a restaurant 10+ years ago and told me he loved the shrimp scampi that their chef made. So I tried to make shrimp scampi once and went with this recipe:
https://www.seriouseats.com/shrimp-scampi-pasta
I thought it was super delicious, and he agrees but he says the one their chef made had red sauce with maybe tomatoes or something. I can't find any recipes online for a tomato sauce based shrimp scampi, does anyone here have a recipe they can share? is this even a thing or is he misremembering? Thanks!
Edit: just wanted to mention that the restaurant was located in Belgium near French border and mostly run by French people so I don't know if the French make shrimp scampi differently..

If it was spicy maybe they are thinking of [Fra Diavolo?](https://www.seriouseats.com/shrimp-fra-diavolo-pasta-recipe)
There are shrimp and red sauce pasta but they aren’t shrimp scampi. I had one recently linguine mare e monte
I have never seen scampi made with tomato.
