Add the chicken back to the pan along with the dry ingredients that did not stick to chicken. Add the two cans of tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook for approx six minutes. Add the heavy cream and the shrimp and the hot sauce and cook for approx. five more minutes. Cook the pasta according to the package in a large salted pot. Drain the pasta and add to the chorizo and tomatoes. Add the grated parmesan and chives on top and you have a big hit.
