3 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb raw shrimp peeled
1/2 package penne
1/4 cup green onion, cut diagonal 1-2 inches
1/4 cup thinly sliced bell pepper (red is best for color and flavor, sweet!)
1 or more cloves garlic (depends on you) chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil
or
1/2 tablespoon dried basil
Cook penne according to package instructions. Peel shrimp and rinse. In frying pan (or wok) heat olive oil. Sauté garlic on very low heat until fragrant.
Add shrimp and bell pepper. Sauté while stirring until the shrimp are pink. Do not overcook. The shrimp should be done in five minutes or less. Don’t walk away! You will over cook them. Drain pasta. Return to pan add your shrimp olive oil mixture. Stir in the basil and green onion. Serve right away. We always have a nice green salad with it. Some nice crispy Italian bread is always a nice addition. Enjoy!
