This easy to make garlic shrimp on pasta recipe was adapted from Simple Pasta by Odette Williams. Adapted is broad as it is so far from the original recipe – maybe inspired by is better phraseology. Either way you choose to describe it, this was one delicious shrimp dinner.

How Was the Shrimp and Garlic on Pasta?

Mighty tasty if I do say so myself and I do…heh. Plus it was quite easy to make. Cooking the pasta took longer than cooking the shrimp. It was bright, flavorful and a meal that we both really enjoyed. Leftovers will not be unwelcome on the table from this dinner!
