4
ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb raw shrimp
- 1⁄2 lb three-vegetable garden-style twirl pasta or 1/2 lb preferred pasta
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup kraft toasted asian sesame dressing or 1/4-1/2 cup marinade
- fresh green onion
- white wine
- lime juice
directions
- Into a medium size pot put enough water to boil the shrimp in, adding white wine, lime juice, or other flavorings if you'd like. I used a splash of lime juice and Jose Quervo classic margarita.
- Cook shrimp until pink, remove with slotted spoon and set aside.
- Keep the water boiling, and into the same pot add your pasta and cook as package directs. While the pasta is cooking, slice up the green onions.
- Drain the pasta, discarding the cooking water at last.
- To serve, spoon some of the hot cooked pasta into a bowl, top with the cooked shrimp, sesame dressing to taste and sprinkle with green onions.

I live in a little cottage on Lake Huron, where I spend my time cooking, gardening, knitting, sewing, and living a simple life. Working full time, I have to do something to keep my sanity!
My BH can get quite creative when he's cooking, and has come up with several of his own concoctions that are quite divine. Beware though, any recipe that has his name on it is NOT for the faint of heart! They can be long and arduous, but in the end all you can say is "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"
