Sauteed Shrimp and Tomato Pasta
"I threw this together one night after work. It was a fast and very tasty meal! My husband loved it. We used frozen cooked shrimp, but fresh is always good too. Also, even though we used whole wheat pasta...feel free to use whatever type of pasta you prefer."

Tasty! I used fettuccine and a light sprinkle of crushed red pepper to the tomatoes when sautéing. -
My husband and I loved it! I used basil instead of italian seasoning and halved fresh cherry tomatoes instead of diced. I'll definitely make this again. It was delicious. -
We had this for supper last night and it was amazing! I only used half of the pasta so that there was more sauce to go around but other than that, followed the recipe. In my top 5 recipes ever! -
This is very tasty and so quick. A keeper for when you have leftover cooked shrimp.
