Garlic Shrimp Pasta

Good evening, everyone!  I hope everyone has had a great week!

We've had a busy evening tonight.  After a quick trip to the grocery store for a few essentials, I headed home and had the pleasure of cooking dinner with Troy.  We made a fairly simple, yet very tasty pasta dish and then spent some time with random household chores.  We're now watching my alma mater Wichita State University play in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen!  Go Shox!!

Now onto the recipe!

 

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

4 cup green onion



1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup sliced carrots

1 tablespoon oregano

1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon basil

pasta of your choice (4 servings)

salt and pepper to taste

Worcestershire sauce

1 pound precooked shrimp, deveined with no tails

parmesan cheese

 

Directions:

Heat olive oil in saucepan.  Add carrots and garlic.  Once carrots soft, added onion, broccoli, oregano, thyme, basil and Worcestershire sauce.  Sautee mixture for 5-10 minutes before adding shrimp.  Once all vegetables and shrimp are heated through, add salt and pepper to taste. 

 

In the meantime, prepare pasta according to the package directions.  Drain pasta.

 

Serve vegetable and shrimp mixture over pasta.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese for additional flavor.

 

Tomatoes would make a great addition.  For us, however, not a good option.  We both hate tomatoes!  With or without the red fruit, we had a great balance of veggies, shrimp and pasta.  Enjoy!
