Cajun Shrimp with Linguini

1 lb.                    Shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 Tbsp.               Olive oil
1/2                      Onion, Chopped
1/2 tsp                 Thyme
1/2 tsp                 Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp                 Black pepper
1/2 tsp                 Basil
1/2 tsp                  Tabasco Sauce
1 Tbs                    Worchestershire Sauce
1/2 cups               Tomato, pealed and diced
2 Tbs                    Sugar
1/2 cup                 Green Onions, chopped
3 cups                   Chicken Broth
1 lb                       Linguini
1/2 cup                 Parmesan Cheese, grated

Directions:
In a large pot, start cooking  your pasta.  Boil until tender.  Meanwhile, in a non-stick fry pan, saute the onion in the olive oil for approximately 4 minutes.  Add the garlic and stir.  Add thyme, cayenne, and black peppers, and basil and cook at low heat for 5 minutes more.  Add everything else except for the pasta, shrimp, and cheese.  Cook over low heat for about one-half hour or until the liquid is reduced.  In another fry pan, saute the shrimp in butter and garlic until three-quarters cooked (pink, but not totally opaque). Add the onion and garlic mixture and cook for an additional two minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss well with the grated cheese. Serve hot in large shallow bowls or on stylish plates. Serve with toasted bread.
