Spicy Shrimp and Spaghetti Ay Oy
"I LOVE this meal. I use the frozen, peeled and cleaned shrimp. It makes this go a lot faster. I usually make this when I'm really hungry because it takes almost no time. Once the spaghetti and shimp are cooked, you're eating in five minutes."

This was good and is a great meal when you're looking for something fast. I love the idea of cooking the shrimp with the pasta. I think we would have liked it better if I had played around with the amount of spices and lemon a little more.

Just moved to Maple Shade, NJ. I got married in October 2004. I love to cook and read. My favorite cookbook of all time is The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Italian.
I love to plan parties with my sister. We make a great team. She comes up with the theme and I cook to match it. We have done a Caribbean party, a Garden party baby shower and we are currently working on an old-fashioned 50's clam bake.
If I had a month off, I would take some cooking and catering classes and then hopefully open my own sandwich shop.
