Yaow! Hot and spicy pasta!
If you like a little kick, you’ll love this spicy shrimp pasta dish.
It’s unique, fast and easy, and by far one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever made. You can really juice this up, too. I added quite a bit more red pepper flakes than the recipe calls for – I like my spice level to make me slightly uncomfortable.
This dish is also a nice way to sneak in a few servings of veggies. The second time I made, I added a handful of asparagus spears cut in half. Just don’t overcook whatever you throw into the sauce. You don’t want the veggies to end up soggy or the shrimp to be rubbery. I love this dish ...
