Yummy Goodness- A Summer Supper

Several months ago, a collegue and friend, Laura gave the recipe of Healthified Garlic Shrimp Pasta for me to try. It has become a big hit in the Raney household. Not only is it a light dish that doesn't leave you wishing you wore your stretchy pants, it is pretty on a plate, easy to make, and most importantly, DELICIOUS and HEALTHY! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
