I tried this pasta dish last summer because it seemed very quick and easy. Scott likes to order seafood pasta at restaurants so I wanted to try to make something similar at home. He loved it and I have made it several times since then. Today, I called and told him to choose anything he wanted for me to make for dinner- and this is what he chose.

I have some frozen shrimp in the freezer. I’ll have to try this.
