Shrimp Linguine
Pasta is my everything. I could consume pasta morning, noon, and night. These types of dishes are so versatile, you can make an entirely different creation, just by changing one element! The following recipe is a one-pot pasta meal. That phrase should be pretty self-explanatory, but if you have not guessed it by now, this pasta can be created by only using one pot. Yay for fewer dishes!

Pause. Let me clarify; I used squid ink noodles just for fun. You can use any type of spaghetti noodle under the sun. I figured the black noodles looked cool. It gave the pasta that extra pizzazz.

One of the easiest meals in the entire world; this shrimp linguini is not a spicy dish, but it does have a kick to it. So for those of you who have smaller children or who don't like the extra heat, you can minimize or completely nix the crushed red pepper.
