SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKEN PASTA (LIKE CARINO'S)



Spicy Shrimp and Chicken Pasta (Like Carino's) image

This is my FAVORITE dish at Johnny Carino's in my town and this is my rendition of the recipe. My husband says it tastes exactly like theirs. I have played around with how much cayenne pepper to put in this dish because the recipe I found originally just said "to taste". For me, one teaspoon is too mild, but two teaspoons is pretty spicy. I'd put some in and do a taste test before you add more. The original recipe was in Denver's Rocky Mountain News, but I have modified it to our tastes, including leaving out the green onion and increasing the amount of the sauce. Also, the original recipe said it served 4, but we have no problem getting 6-8 servings of this. I serve it with a tossed salad and my Recipe #281657.

MY VERSION: CARINO'S SPICY ROMANO CHICKEN



My Version: Carino's Spicy Romano Chicken image

My favorite restaurant in the world is Johnny Carino's (a.k.a Carino's Italian Grill) and my favorite recipe is their Spicy Romano Chicken. Well I've tried other recipes that I thought were close but I recently tried a recipe by Guy Fieri and after a few changes I think I've come up with a pretty close alternative. I will make one change when I make it again : I will skip slicing the chicken and just put one breast on each plate. I hope this recipe is enjoyed. I must add that I give Guy all the praise for this recipe :-)
