Who wants to be pasta with shrimp?

Because Rick loves me, he awarded me this very prestigious honor. Thanks Rick, love ya too!

So in honor of his cooking style, I offer my first ever recipe on my blog.

*DISCLAIMER* I am not a cook, any resemblance to a cook real or imagined is purely coincidental.

Tonight I made my best Pasta with Shrimp ever. Usually I walk around my kitchen asking, "Who wants to be pasta with shrimp?" and I end up boiling the pasta, grilling the shrimp and then tossing it all together with some olive oil, butter and parmesan cheese. But tonight was different. Tonight, I listened a little closer.

First I started off grilling sliced yellow and orange bell pepper which I had coated with olive oil, Lawry's Seasoned Salt, and some steak seasoning.

Then I put some rigatoni and macaroni onto boil. (I used two kinds because I am a super-cool avante-garde chef, and also because I didn't have enough of either kind.)

I grilled up the shrimp in olive oil and added some garlic, basil, and oregano.

Finally, I tossed the pasta, super-yummy seasoned shrimp, a bit of olive oil, tiny bit of butter, a pinch of garlic salt, mozarella cheese, and the grilled bell peppers together.

YUM! I think everyone was happy.
