Creamy Spicy Shrimp Spaghetti
This creamy spicy shrimp spaghetti is creamy, spicy, and super easy to make! It's a restaurant-quality meal that cooks perfectly in under 30 minutes.
Although you can purchase peeled and deveined shrimp at the grocery store, you’ll save a couple of bucks if you do it yourself. Here’s how you do it: If the head is still attached, gently twist and remove it. Press your thumb underneath the shrimp where the legs are attached, and gently remove the shell and tail. Run a pairing knife along the back of the shrimp and pull out the gray vein.

Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw the shrimp completely before cooking. To thaw frozen shrimp simply place it in a bowl and refrigerate overnight. To thaw frozen shrimp the same day, place the shrimp in a bowl and cover it with cold water.
