- 1 lb shrimp, thawed
- 16 oz jar roasted red peppers
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp minced garlic

- salt & ground cayenne pepper - to taste
- 3/4 cup half & half
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Fill a kettle with water, add 1/2 TBSP of salt and cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain pasta and set aside when it's done cooking.
- Add peppers with the liquid to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- In a medium skillet, add butter, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and garlic. Sauté shrimp, being careful not to overcook them. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
- Add the red pepper sauce to the pan, cover and let it simmer for 10 minutes over low heat. Add the half & half and parmesan and cook for 1 minute. Return the shrimp to the pan, add the noodles, and mix everything together.
- Serve and enjoy!
