Spicy Shrimp Fettuccine

With the exception of Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches, there’s not an easier recipe that yields such delicious results. I made this for my girlfriend, who is not a fan of shrimp in general and she loved it. The most time consuming thing was chopping the tomatoes and the rest was a breeze!
