MAKE (IT) YOURSELF: Italian Shrimp & Pasta

Haven't posted a new recipe in while, sorry!  This one is actually already on my recipe page, but it's one of my favorites so I wanted to highlight it.  It has so many great flavors and textures and the shrimp brings good variety to the sometimes boring chicken or fish.  It's a bit heavy on carbs so be careful with portion sizes and make sure you use whole wheat pasta.

Italian Shrimp & Pasta:

Ingredients:

1 medium bag cooked/peeled shrimp
1 1/2 (cooked) whole wheat angel hair pasta
1 C broccoli florets - fresh
1 small-medium red pepper, cut into 1 inch strips
1/3 C Lite Italian Dressing - divided

Directions:

Cook pasta as directed.
Peel shrimp if needed and rinse.
Sauté shrimp, pepper, and broccoli in 2-3 tbls Italian dressing for 5-7 min.
After pasta is cooked and strained, pour in remaining Italian dressing and mix well.
Divide pasta out on plates and top with shrimp mixture.

Viola!!  A healthy Italian masterpiece in just minutes!!  Enjoy!!
