Some may have noticed it before – and for others this may be a surprise – but every bottle of Tabasco hot sauce has a number on the bottom of the bottle. People have questioned that number since Tabasco bottles have been on store shelves. Some people believe that it has to do with the heat of the hot sauce inside, ranging on a scale from one to forty.

Simple can be so delicious. And that’s definitely true when it comes to this spicy Mediterranean pasta. It’s a classic Italian dish with a handful of ingredients, but with a fiery twist. That mix of balsamic vinegar tang and chili pepper heat is extra-special. This dish works particularly well with an arugula salad with Parmesan shavings.

The modern kitchen has found a special place for the cayenne pepper. Fresh, it’s a terrific culinary chili, bringing a medium-heat (30,000 to 50,000 Scoville heat units) with a neutral, peppery flavor. But it’s even more popular dried. In fact, few cupboards are without a bottle of this chili in powder or flake form. Serrano Pepper, Ghost Peppers, Cayenne Peppers, Chili, Cupboards, Powder

It's time for some shrimp, my friends. Spicy shrimp, that is. I'm always up for shrimp because it's so much lighter in the calorie department than other proteins, but that doesn't mean they're boring when it comes to flavor. This Cajun shrimp recipe is wonderfully spicy with succulent shrimp simmered in tomato sauce spiced with chilies, Cajun seasonings and more. Great for dinner or an appetizer.
