Fettucini with Chipotle Cream Sauce and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Fettucini with Chipotle Cream Sauce and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

There’s a Mexican restaurant in our neighborhood called Fiesta Mexicana that Katrina and I like to go to whenever we are craving good food and cheap margaritas.  No seriously… the half-pitchers of margaritas and sangria average $15, and hold enough drink for six to eight full glasses, enough to make two adults feel pretty good.  To top it all off, they give you free after dinner shots with the check.  Anyways, recently they added a supplemental menu of specials to the regular menu.  One of these is a creamy chipotle pasta topped with bacon wrapped shrimp, with some tomatoes and a rainbow of bell peppers mixed in.  Katrina hates bell peppers, so without ever seeing or trying the dish we decided to make our own version at home.  Read on to see how you can make your own Fettucini with Chipotle Cream Sauce and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp.
