Week 3 -- Shrimp Primavera



This week was super delicious! Shrimp primavera. It included shrimp, of course, penne pasta, and a bunch of sauteed veggies. As a last minute twist, I felt the sauce was lacking saucey-ness. It was more of a bunch of chopped veggies with a little buttery-sauce. So I added some Chardonnay to the mix and BOOM!!! Amazing-ness was the result.




Instead of a recipe, I'm just gonna say what I did. Skip all the boring stuff...

Cook some sort of pasta to taste. I used penne but I think it would have been much easier to eat with fettuccine. Steam/grill/boil large shrimp. Chop red and green bell peppers, half an onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes into cubes. Sautee the veggies in a butter-garlic-basil-marjoram-Bearnaise sauce. When veggies are cooked, throw in the cooked shrimp and a glass of Chardonnay and cook for a few minutes more. When everything smells amazing, mix in pasta and serve. MMMMMM.......


Oh yeah.... did I mention that this goes very well with oreo-peanut butter milkshakes?
