SHRIMPLY PEAS & PASTA

This is a quick, simple, and delicious meal that you can prepare in a half-hour!

INGREDIENTS

1 lb bag of large, frozen shrimp (cleaned and deveined), fresh if available

1 lb box of pasta shells (medium size)

1 bag of frozen peas

1 can of cherry tomatoes or crushed tomatoes (jar sauce is also fine)

EVOO

Black pepper, to taste

Garlic, to taste

Red pepper flakes, to taste

Parsley, to taste

Romano cheese

Directions

Sauté shrimp in EVOO, garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes and parsley. Remove shrimp. Add tomatoes to sauté pan and cook until bubbly. Turn down heat. Cook pasta as directed (I prefer al dente and remove it a minute or two before it’s “done”). Save the pasta water. Add pasta right into tomatoes. Add about two cups of pasta water. Add about three handfuls of Romano cheese, bag of peas and mix until everything comes together. Add shrimp back in and mix well.
