Lightly saute the seasoned shrimp in the olive oil for only 3 to 4 minutes over medium high heat. Remove from pan and set aside.
To the pan add the 3 cloves minced garlic.
Saute for only a minute to slightly soften the garlic, then add the remaining ingredients except the red pepper.
Simmer for just a few minutes until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, then add the shrimp back to the pan along with the red pepper.
After one minute add the cooked noodles and toss well before serving.
