Fettuccine With Shrimp, Tomatoes and Basil
"My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and came across several folders full of recipes that she had clipped from magazines and newpapers over the years. This came from the Houston Post (no longer in circulation) 1990. The article was promoting a cookbook by Bon Appetit called "Too Busy to Cook". This is a nice, quick and easy meal!"

Didn't have olives...they would've taken this to SIX stars!! Easy and fabulous! -
This was super simple to make, tasted great and had a lot of veggies, which are sometimes hard to get into my three picky kids. I followed the directions for everything except I used large, precooked shrimp because deveining shrimp makes me squeemish. This meal got two thumbs up from all five members. Thank you so much loof. Made for PRMR. -

Made for your Football Pool win, I reduced the amt of oil & used pre-cooked Icelandic baby shrimp, but otherwise made the recipe exactly as written. It was an easy quick-fix & a big flavor success for both DH & me. He esp likes the use of black olives, so it got a 3rd thumbs-up from him in that regard. Congrats on your FP win & thx for posting this delicious recipe that is sure to be repeated. -
