You can vary this recipe to your own tastes. I most always add onions to the garlic when frying and skip the minced green onions. I have used baby portobello mushrooms also. I always use fresh garlic! This is hubby's favorite meal. Ingredients:
1/2 pound dried penne pasta |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
4 cups thinly sliced yellow squash |
3 cups thinly sliced zucchini |
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
1/2 cup minced fresh chives or green onions |
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and pour into a large bowl.
2. Meanwhile, warm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in squash and zucchini, and cook 10 minutes. Stir in shrimp, and cook 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook 2 minutes more.
3. Pour shrimp and sauce into large bowl with pasta. Sprinkle with chives and Parmesan, and stir to combine.
