Shrimp Scampi

 


There really isn’t a need for me to elaborate on or about Shrimp and Pasta.  It speaks volume for itself and doesn’t warrant the need for kudos.  Actually… yes it does!  Shrimp in a garlicky buttery sauce, with shredded veggies, tossed in fettuccine…. or thin spaghetti.  Need I say more.
