That awkward moment when you go to the dentist and one of your friends is THE dentist who just got hired on who is there to fix your teeth.

Yeah, that happened to me today. Pretty sure he gained a whole new level of understanding/disgust for me based on my oral health. I kept telling myself that he’s seen worse, but odds are my bicuspids will be giving him nightmares tonight.

YOU GUYS. These are the things I think about.

In other news….I’m supposed to be eating clean this month. I’ve developed a quasi-whole30 plan for myself that revolved around vegetables, fruits and all things from sweet mother earth…except I keep eating ice cream.

And obviously pasta. Burp.

We’ll see how the rest of Marchpans out {said the girl with a mouth full of peanut M&M’s}. I promise to post more ‘clean’ recipes soon, but in the meantime: PASTA.

OMG, I love this stuff. Um, show me a pasta I don’t love…oh wait. Never mind. Creamy spicy pasta with shrimp thrown into the mix; what’s not to love? This recipe is ready to eat in about 30 minutes, thanks to the super quick cooking shrimp and it has a nice little kick to it as well. If you don’t mind a little seafood in your dinner, then this is the meal for you! Give it a try tonight:

Start by seasoning your shrimpies. I got the fish guy behind the counter to peel and devein mine for me while I kept shopping with the kiddos. Best idea ever.

Cook your shrimp, onions and garlic in a little olive oil and butter. I used the larger pan in thisCalphalon Contemporary Nonstick 2-pc. Fry Pan Set. Pull the shrimp out and set aside.

Add in the rest of the ingredients and simmer for about 15 minutes. Then slide your shrimp back into the pan and toss with pasta.

Oh yeah! You might want to cook some linguine while your sauce is simmering away! I used thisPour and Strain Sauce Pan for this {which was awesome because it means fewer dishes!}

So yes, as I mentioned before, toss your shrimp and your pasta into your creamy sauce and serve.

Orrrr, if you’re feeling fancy, add in some cheese and parsley. Totally up to you. I love the different taste that real Parmigiano Reggiano adds to this dish, so I’d recommend adding it in. But if you don’t have it on hand, don’t not make this.

I’m really good at double negative sentences.
