This dish from How Sweet It Is is a winner in our book.

It pulls together very quickly and has so much flavor -- your guests will be impressed.

A little admission here -- I have a difficult time holding a conversation while I'm cooking. So I get a little flustered when my dinner guests follow me into the kitchen because I just can't multitask like that.

But I may have found a solution! This pasta dish is so easy. Everything is prepped ahead of time.

All you need to do is toss it all into a skillet and cook until the shrimp is done.

Minimal thinking required!

You gotta try this and let me know how it goes for you! I do believe a dinner party is on the horizon for us....

ENJOY!

Fast and easy spicy shrimp pasta dish with loads of flavor. I say it makes enough for 4, but the reality is that my husband and I devoured the entire thing in one sitting! Remarkably good! Worthy of a dinner party!
