This is a light, tasty shrimp pasta dish. I love shrimp – it is one of my favorite foods. It is not something that I eat on a weekly basis but I do love it for a special treat or when I find it on sale. I personally love to use rice pasta. You do have to be sure not to over cook it but it is really tasty in my opinion. Be sure to “PIN” this great recipe so you will have it when you are ready to make it.
