2 quarts water
¼ pound, plus 1 Tablespoon butter, in all
½ pound thin spaghetti
1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon white pepper
½ teaspoon ground red cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon thyme
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried basil
I Tablespoon minced garlic
½ pound shrimp, at least 21 to 25 count, raw, peeled
¼ pound shucked oysters, in their liquor

Add salt to water in a 4 quart saucepan, bring to boil. While waiting for the boil, proceed to preparation of sauce and seafood. When the water reaches a boil, add the pasta and stir. Cook until al dente, drain water and toss with 1 Tablespoon of butter.

While Pasta water heats, sauté all spice and the minced garlic with ¼ pound butter for one minute in a twelve inch sauté pan at medium heat. Add the shrimp and sauté until pink, about three minutes. Add wine, turn the heat to high and cook one more minute. Remove shrimp and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and add tomato sauce. Reduce by about one third. Add oysters and their liquid, turn heat to medium high until oysters begin to plump and their edges to curl. Reduce heat to medium low, add drained spaghetti and shrimp and toss to heat through. Serve immediately.
