The combination of shrimp with pasta is my favorite dinner combination in the world. It makes sense since it brings together my two favorite foods, ha! Coming up with different flavors and ways of preparing it is a lot of fun and always makes me think of my Nana Lulu. I can never think of pasta without thinking of her!
