Creole Shrimp and Spaghetti

I've been feeling like crud lately so I needed something quick and filling to make for dinner. Since Ron brought shrimp home last night I thought I'd try out this recipe I found on one of my favorite recipe sites, All Recipes.

I did some minor tweaks after reading the reviews and loved it. Very nice kick. Very yummy. Now I'm gonna have to play with it to make it a bit more calorie friendly. ;)
