- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce, to taste (I prefer Chohula's)

- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (or more to taste)

Method
- First, make the Bleu Cheese Sauce: Combine the onion, oil, garlic and sugar in a medium saucepan.
- Cook, stirring, over medium heat until the onion is tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the blue cheese until nearly melted.
- Now, cook the pasta according to package directions.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the shrimp.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat.
- Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly pink, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, butter, and hot sauce and cook until the shrimp is just opaque in the center, about1 1/2 minutes longer.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the paprika; set aside.
- Drain the pasta well and put it in a large bowl.
- Stir in the warm blue cheese sauce.
- Gently mix in the chopped chives or parsley.
- Spoon the pasta onto individual plates.
- Top with the shrimp and sauce.
- Garnish as desired.
