A super simple shrimp and pasta dish. It only takes as long to make as it takes the pasta to cook! We took some of our favorite things, tossed them together, and came up with this tasty meal. We had it with a small side salad and a piece of garlic bread... yummy! Regarding the shrimp, this is one time where size doesn't matter. I used jumbo shrimp because that is what I had. However, you could use any size you like with the exception of tiny bay shrimp. I do not think they will work for this recipe. Go with small or larger shrimp.
