Chipotle Shrimp or Scallop Scampi With Fettuccine

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is a restaurant-quality dish that takes little time to prepare and can be made using either shrimps or scallops or 1 pound of both! You can use spaghetti in place of the fettuccine if desired. You can also increase the amount of shrimp or scallops. Serve this with garlic bread, recipe#105726 or #152138...sooooooo good!"

I liked this very much however DH was not that fond of it, so the 4 start is a combination of my 5 star and his 3 star (guess he's a traditional pasta guy.) I cut the recipe in 1/2 and used a specialty spinache/garlic pasta. If I was to make again think I'd add more garlic and shallots.
