Great recipe. I added some cayenne pepper which gave it an extra kick.

Boring pasta dish. Good, but nothing exciting. It might be because I left most of the seeds out of the jalapeno, afraid it'd be too hot. The market didn't have big shrimp so I had to make it with salad shrimps. I do not recommend that. Also I should have made my own marinara. None the less, it was cheap and filling. Easy pasta.

Very easy to make and it is delicious. My guests kept asking for more! If you have 4 guests you might make a touch more because they will be asking for seconds. Don't go too crazy with crushed pepper it would easily take over the taste of the shrimp if you go overboard.
