I usually bought peeled and deveined shrimp. This will save you time because it takes 20 minutes to peel and devein the shrimp. Save your time and no hassle. I think I already mention it here on my blog.
In Spicy Shrimp Spaghetti Recipe the red sauce itself is the source of flavor. In making this yummy and delicious sauce here are the tips: I cook the sauce with butter. Then chop the fresh tomatoes, onions, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Thyme and smokes paprika and chilies complete the mixture of this tasty sauce.
I’m not a fan making a last minute dash to the store. Sounds silly right? I am afraid to run out of pasta in the pantry. I used to stock up during the sale. So, every time I need it I’m ready to go. Especially on special occasions you would agree that Spaghetti is the kids favorite. I never meet any kids that don’t love spaghetti. I’m sure YOU would agree.!
