what should I make with shrimp?

ashleybunny8

I am trying to use up the rest of the frozen shrimp we have for dinner tonight, DH has asked that I make "pasta with some kind of sauce" to go with it. I suggested Alfredo sauce and he nixed it: "it is too plain."

What is your go-to pasta sauce?! Something simple, please!

Thanks in advance! Also, I am not able to get on Pinterest, so please no links! Thanks again!

you can just make a fresh tomato sauce with it-some onions, garlic, basil, fresh tomatoes, olive oil add shrimp, toss all together to serve.

 Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp and Basil

Ingredients

Original recipe makes 4 servings Change Servings

• 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
• 1 (8 ounce) package angel hair past
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic

• 1/2 cup dry white wine
