Garlic shrimp with lime garlic pasta

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

At least once a week I like to serve a meatless meal. It could be our 3 Pepper Pizza, Florentine Pesto Pasta or sometimes just a protein-rich quinoa salad. Today's meal, Garlic Shrimp with Basil, features shrimp as the protein source and is served with loads of garlic and a tangy pasta made with key limes from my yard. It's a little different but a nice change-up from the more familiar lemon pasta and comes out delicious! This is a great recipe to fix when you're short on time and, when served with a side salad, will be a healthy addition to your weekly meal plan.
