Rotini and Shrimp
"Really good and quick. My Mom used to make this all the time, although once she served it to guests and forgot to add the shrimp. Not quite the same that way! Try it, even the shellfish-shy will become believers."

This was great. I cut the fat even more by skipping the butter entirely and adding the shrimp to the pasta in the last 30 sec's. I mixed the ingredients and drizzled just enough oil over then to gloss and flavor the dish (maybe 1/2 a tsp on my single serving). I used lemon pepper in place of the peel. It was made in the morning and served chilled for dinner. I would have enjoyed some veggies added, broccoli and carrots sound good. -
This was a simple, quick and great-tasting recipe. Next time I think I'll double the sauce ingredients..increasing the butter, olive oil, shallots, garlic, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce & parsley. I can't wait to try it again. This recipe will be put in my 'quick cooking' file. Thank you very much!!

I live with my husband of 34 years in Oregon. We have 3 great kids and 4 beautiful grandchildren, 6 year old triplets and a soon to be 2 year old. Our daughter lives in Athens, Greece with her husband and our youngest, a son, just got married last summer. My stepson and his wife are the parents of our grandchildren and live about an hour away. Our family is growing and it's always fun to have them all together! I love to travel. I have just returned from a trip to Vietnam and have visited our daughter in Greece several times. During my travels I always enjoy the local food and have fun trying to re-create it at home. To pay the bills, I've been a hairstylist for 40 years and I still love it. I knit, sew, read and I'm just beginning to become interested in quilting,digital scrapbooking and geneology.
