Linguine with Spicy Shrimp Sauce

This recipe is so good, quick and easy to make. It’s been a staple in our house for many years now. I tend to add more crushed red pepper flakes then the recipe calls for just to get a little extra heat but it is a great meal just the way it is too. Original recipe calls for pasta and sauce to be mixed altogether in serving bowl but I just leave the sauce in the pan and let family spoon it over their pasta themselves. This just might be Ken’s favourite meal as he requests it often.
