Notes
You will either need to skin and de-vein your shrimp or buy it that way for this recipe (I will be making a video on how to de-vein a shrimp soon).Keep in mind that half a dish's ability to WOW is about your ingredients' quality. To that end, I suggest you always use the highest quality, freshest, and most organic ingredients you can find. For this recipe, I use all fresh vegetables, double zero Italian pasta (no preservatives or sugar - just wheat and water), and fresh shrimp. Whole Foods has all these things - including the pasta and a choice of fresh shrimp. PURCHASE NOTE: These are a few of my favorite things This is the Italian pasta that I love, Rustichella d'abruzzo - Pasta Abruzzese di semola di grano duro (no preservatives or sugar - just wheat and water). Enjoy!
