Grill the bread for 2 minutes on each side.
In a saute pan over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds longer. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes and the remaining 3 tablespoons each cilantro, basil and oregano.

Skipped the bread, in lieu of fresh Italian with dipping oil. Used a bit more herbs than called for and reduced red pepper a bit for kids. Sauce is rich with flavor and very easy to make. One of my favorite pastas! Excellent!

This was an excellent twist to shrimp! We all loved it. My 9 year old has already asked when we are having again...the only thing is we have to cut the red pepper flakes back just a little bit...

WOW! Quite a nice kick in this recipe! I doubled the sauce ingredients and served it over pasta. The garlic bread was awesome too (even though the only bread we had in the house was a package of hot dog buns.
