"This recipe is special because it is a family favorite! Every time, I ask my children what do y'all want me to cook this week? The answer is shrimp spaghetti. I had the honor of being cook of the week in a local newspaper. Of course, the first recipe I submitted was my shrimp spaghetti.
My family, along with my niece and her family (total of 10) go to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach every year if not twice a year. We like to eat out of course but we also love to cook after a long wonderful day on the beach and just relax in the condo. We always make shrimp spaghetti when we are there. It is so good because we get fresh gulf shrimp and that makes it so much better. Where we live fresh shrimp is very hard to come by. We will be spending Labor Day in Gulf Shores in a couple of weeks and yes, we will have shrimp spaghetti!"
