I wasn't too interested in cooking dinner tonight, but once I got into the quick spirit of things I threw together the following recipe:
Shrimp & Shells
2 doz. med shrimp, cleaned, de-veined, tails cut off
Clean shrimp, de-vein and snip the tails off. Leave on a cutting board and season with lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add shell pasta. Three or four minutes before pasta cooking time is finished, throw in frozen peas and shrimp. Allow to boil until its time to drain the pasta. As pasta drains, add a pat of butter to the pot used for boiling. Slide pasta mixture back into pot; add Parmesan cheese and parsley. Toss and allow to heat through before serving. Substitution: Use canned shrimp instead of fresh.
The dish was a lovely combination and made for a light and refreshing dinner. It was delicious to boot.
