Southern living’s Speedy Shrimp Scampi

An old favorite that is simple to make and fully of flavor!

I LOVE how the noodles seem to take to the chili sauce perfectly and they are great for balancing out the chili spices.

Growing up, we lived just a few streets over from the Lincoln Park projects in Huntsville, Alabama…
