Looking to add some spice in your life, I have a recipe for you. Fiery Shrimp Pasta delivers a memorable Pasta recipe. Filled with sliced Red Jalapeños, tender Onion, fragrant Garlic, sautéed Tomatoes and succulent Shrimp all in one dish. Heat on the palate with delicious flavor on the palate that will have you salivating with pure ecstasy.

Shrimp is a type of shellfish that is enjoyed abundantly and enjoyed all over the world. They come in variations of sizes ranging from small to jumbo and compliment many types of dishes. You can enjoy them grilled, fried, sautéed, poached, hot or cold and the recipes used to prepare them are limitless. Shrimp is mild tasting with a bit of sweetness and when prepared correctly, can be tender and succulent.

I love a bit of heat but the heat factor is what you are comfortable with. Jalapeños right out of the garden, red and fiery, okay maybe I let them stay on the plant a bit longer than needed but the heat delivered was amazingly well established. Paired with a Pasta flavored with Garlicky & Buttery goodness, it was a win on today’s recipe of Fiery Shrimp Pasta.

Try your hand on a quick heat inspired recipe. Prepared in less than 30 minutes that can be enjoyed with crusty warm bread to soak up the goodness. This is an opportunity to make this recipe and make it your own. While this is my version, there is always room to make it yours.
