Pasta Pasta a Little Late...

Hey! So sorry that this is a little late, but better late than never right! I made the pasta dish on Friday (maybe? or maybe it was Thursday...no clue) night along with other things for a nice big meal.

My mom and I made ribs on the grill, nice and slowly with a dry spice rub. They turned out fantastically!



Though our barbecue sauce wasn't as great. Ah well, everything was still good.
After we spent hours (yes, hours!) on the ribs, we started our pasta and veggies. Everything was so chaotic then! We had everything on the stove at the same time and it was a little crowded, but fun of course.

So the pasta that I ended up making was a side dish because we had already established the main meals until Saturday. It worked out though! The kind of theme of the meal was lemon. In the barbecue sauce there was lemon juice, the green beans (the veggie for the meal) had a lemon taste to it, and my pasta was lemony too.


Which brings me to my pasta, the pasta that I made was....*if you want, add a drum roll here* Garlic Butter Pasta! With Shrimp! This recipe is a big thanks to Evil Shenanigans and the food blogging world.
It was actually a really simple recipe, maybe not the cheapest, but still simple! Oh, and it was quick too. To start the recipe, all you need to do is boil the water and cook the pasta removing it one minute before it's done.

Oh, at the same time you have to marinate the shrimp in garlic, lemon zest, and oil. Well...if you can't peel shrimp this recipe isn't the simplest I suppose, oops forgot about that!

After that, you melt butter in a pan and add the shrimp. You just have to cook the shrimp until it is no longer translucent and turns a little pink. Then, add basil (the recipe calls for fresh, but we just used dried instead) and the pasta (after you drain it of course) and you just move it around and coat it all in the sauce and....walla! You have fantastic Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta!
