Your pasta is probably gone by now, but here's one I've had on my fridge to make (& because I love the pic ). Bottled dressing is another quick way to go. A site I like is ilovepasta. Take a peek & see what you think.

Caesar Shrimp and Pasta Serves 4

8 oz. Ziti, Mostaccioli or other medium pasta shape, uncooked
3 cups broccoli florets
1/3 cup plus 2 tbsp. bottled light Caesar salad dressing
12 oz. uncooked peeled and deveined shrimp, thawed if frozen
1/4 tsp. crushed red hot pepper flakes
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese



Prepare pasta according to package directions; three minutes before pasta is done, add broccoli florets. While pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of the dressing in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and pepper flakes; stir-fry 3-4 minutes or until shrimp is opaque. Drain pasta and broccoli; transfer to a serving bowl. Add remaining 1/3 cup dressing and shrimp mixture; toss well. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.

My tummy is growling. This looks YUMMY! I happen to have some shrimp I bought this week on sale, I am going to try this either Monday or Tuesday. Thanks mish. As always, your recipes speak to me.

Hi Alix. This one was just calling my name. Nice light summer ez dish. Hope you like it. I've got a bunch of shrimp in the freezer too. It's going to be another hot one this week, so hoping I'll get to this one soon.

Had this for lunch yesterday. Total keeper. Did you try it yet Mish?

When I realized I was out of Caesar dressing, I had to pour Ranch over it instead. It was, uh, interesting? I know I'll like it when I have the right ingredients. Some days I'm lucky if I don't put my pantyhose on over my head. Glad you liked it Alix.

[Alix]

LMAO! I used my homemade caesar dressing. It was yummers.

[mish]

Hee Hee. I would have settled for Italian...but what can I tell you. For now I'm sticking with pizza. HA.
