Shrimp & Lime Pasta


The first time I made this recipe, I misread "teaspoon" for "tablespoon" and accidentally tripled the amount of lime juice it called for.  Honestly, I think it came out better that way - and so the change has stayed.

Shrimp & Lime Pasta 
serves 4

Saute in olive oil for 5 minutes until soft:
1 small white onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, diced

Add and saute until shrimp is cooked:
1 lb. shrimp, peeled
2 cloves garlic, minced

Add and heat through:
3 tbsp. lime juice
1 jar chunky salsa

Toss with 3/4 lb. cooked long pasta.


This is very much a "semi-homemade" recipe: store-bought salsa provides the bulk of the sauce, with fresh vegetables added for flavor and crispness.  Everyone say hi to Aunt Sandy!
