Since when is shrimp "budget friendly"?

4/6/2010 05:40:49 PM Report AbuseThis recipe is absolutely delicious and so easy to make! Will definitely make this again! Used an entire box of pasta and just doubled the ingredients for the sauce (but didn't increase the amount of shrimp).
3/30/2010 10:25:11 AM Report Abusehave a salad first and serve with whole grain bread. half a box of pasta is plenty for four people. whole wheat pasta is unreal filling. and delicous.
2/9/2010 10:41:33 AM Report AbuseThis sounds like a fabulous recipe...the only thing that puzzles about many recipes me is how one can serve FOUR people on 6 oz of pasta! That's less than half of a box! My family of four usually consumes 1.5 boxes of pasta at a meal. (And no one is at all overweight.)
