I made this for an Italian potluck party and it was a hit. When prep work is done the actual cooking time is just a few minutes. The fresh ingredients, mild but delicious blend of flavors and incredible beauty made it the center piece at the party. Pasta makes a nice side dish but the Shrimp Copobianca can stand alone.
