The Smart Chef

Spicy Shrimp Pasta

Once upon a time, there was a chef named Jack who loved to cook spicy food. One day, he decided to make a Spicy Shrimp Pasta dish for his friends.

As he was cooking the pasta, he noticed that one of the shrimp was shaped like a heart.

"This shrimp must be a sign of good luck," he thought to himself.

Just then, his dog, Max, ran into the kitchen, wagging his tail and barking excitedly. He jumped up and licked Jack's face, trying to get a taste of the spicy aroma in the air.

"Sorry, Max, this recipe is too spicy for you," Jack said with a laugh.

As he finished cooking, he added the heart-shaped shrimp to the pasta and stirred it in gently. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise coming from the pot. He lifted the lid and saw that the heart-shaped shrimp had jumped out of the pot and was bouncing around on the kitchen counter!

"Looks like this shrimp has a mind of its own," Jack said with a chuckle.

He quickly caught the shrimp and added it back to the pasta dish. He served it to his friends, and they all enjoyed the spicy and delicious Spicy Shrimp Pasta, heart-shaped shrimp and all!
