Our sauce lovers desired a definite sauce, but this was rather dry. It wasn't very hot; by design we substituted crushed red pepper for dried chilie and omitted paprika (the first meal back at home for a mama with a new baby; she had begged for shrimp with garlic). This recipe is well-suited for Weight Watchers due to the small amount of fat. If it were me, next time I would add more red pepper flakes. The mama added Recipe #350140 as her sauce. The 19-mo.-old daughter happily gobbled up her pasta and shrimp. Made for Best of 2013 tag game.

Update: This dish just gets better and better. This time I made it even spicer, it was incredible, the shrimp tasted sweet with this lovely heat all around it. I highly recommend this tasty dish, try it you won't be disappointed. <br/><br/>What a great dish Nif. We really enjoyed this hot and spicy shrimp and pasta. Loved the way the pasta soaked up the flavors that the shrimp were cooked in. I used collosal shrimps for a memorable meal. I will be making this again. It was well worth the extra effort. I used all the optional ingredients for the sauce, it was spectacular. Thanks so much for sharing.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
