Shrimp and spaghetti is a dinner party staple in my southern kitchen, especially around this time of year. The sauce in my spin of this comfort classic has a freshness that is welcome after the heavier comfort foods of winter, to which the shrimp provides the perfect complement.
I wasn't ever given a hand-written recipe for shrimp and spaghetti. I was told how to make it in great detail, and I later wrote down what I remembered. While I had a better memory back then and probably penned the instructions pretty well, I wasn't given exact amounts for any of the ingredients.
