You can enjoy this delicious dish hot, or cold in the summer as a pasta salad.
To me, pasta is always a good idea, especially when there is a spicy touch to it. Dare to give this Spicy Shrimp Fettucine a shot. It's perfect when paired with a glass of white wine!
Ingredients

Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil with a pinch of salt, cook the pasta according to the directions on the box and drain.
