A few months ago, I spotted this delish-looking pasta dish over at Jenni-isms. I decided I definitely wanted to make it, and then Eating, Etc. made it and that just made my decision stronger! I made this for dinner last night, and followed Eating, Etc's adaptation to add some shredded parmesan to the dish. This was good, and the whole fam liked eating it for dinner! One of my kids was picky about the shrimp, but no problem, he just left more for the rest of us!
Like Eating, Etc, I used cooked frozen shrimp. I could only find a 12. oz bag, and a 24 oz. bag, so I went with the 12 oz. Instead of the wine, I used chicken broth... I just don't keep wine on hand. I ommitted the red pepper flakes for my kids' sensitive palates (ok, and my wimpy one).
