Sweet and spicy shrimp with pasta....YUMMY!! I haven't tried this one yet, because I just found it in my Southern Living Cookbook, but my parents live in Lafayette, Louisiana so I feel obligated. OH and it sounds really good too!

This recipe was a disaster! The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was curdled. I don't recommend it.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was so good that I could have eaten it on its own.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out bland. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The shrimp are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is to die for.
