I love this recipe. It's so delicious and has a distinct Bahamian flair! The cayenne is quite minimal with just enough of a very mild kick without being too overpowering. Of course, you can increase or decrease the cayenne to suit your own palate.

You can use any pasta (linguine, fettuccine, spaghetti) for this recipe, but I'm leaving the recipe as I found it which is how it was prepared when I ordered it.
