Cook the linguine according to the package directions. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with the pepper and cook until they begin to turn pink, about 2 minutes.
Turn the shrimp, add the capers, olives, and anchovies (if desired), and cook for 2 minutes more.
Add the marinara sauce and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes.
Divide the pasta among bowls and spoon the shrimp and puttanesca sauce over the top.
Quick, light, simple and delicious. Added a shake of red pepper flakes and so good. Plan on making this often.
