Shrimp Pasta Recipe

I love when a dish isn’t too fussy or complicated.  But it still tastes phenomenal and is an impressive meal.

Shrimp Scampi Pasta is all of those.  Indulgent, fresh, bright, flavorful, satisfying, uncomplicated, perfection.

A couple months ago I participated in the Shrimp Showdown, hosted by OXO and The Shrimp Councel.  I received 5 lbs of HUGE shrimp from Eastern Fish Company.

I couldn’t decide between two recipes: Spicy Shrimp Roll or Shrimp Scampi Pasta.

So I made both!

We had quite the Shrimp Extravaganza that day.  It was beautiful.  Glorious. The Best Day Evuh.

I know people either tend to love or hate shrimp.

If you hate shrimp . . . why are you still reading this?  And, I don’t understand you.  But thanks for following along!

I LOVE SHRIMP!  And if you are a shrimp fan too, you need to make this Shrimp Scampi Pasta!
