1/2 box Brilla spaghetti
1 small bag (16 oz) frozen mixed vegetables
1 bag (16 oz) frozen shrimp (not breaded)
4 segments of a garlic clove
1 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP basil
2 sticks of butter
Melt butter in medium sized pot. Take the four segments of garlic clove, press them and add to butter. Then add basil, mixed vegetables, and shrimp. Keep hot until water is pretty much boiled away.
In large pot boil spaghetti for approximately 10-12 minutes then strain out water in strainer. After water is removed put back in pot and sprinkle olive oil over and stir (to keep spaghetti from sticking together).
NOTE: Linguini and many other varieties of pasta can be exchanged in place of regular spaghetti.
Take vegetable and shrimp mix pour over spaghetti and mix together.
Ready to serve.
A fresh loaf of French or Italian style bread goes well with this to wipe up the flavored butter.
ADDITIONAL NOTE:
A nice chilled wine goes well with this. I prefer a rose'. I like Stella Rosa, Stella Berry but then I'm sure there's those who are more of a wine connoisseur than I am since I'm just a simple country boy. Make an antipasto tray of summer sausage, a couple of whole olives, raw radish, raw carrot, cheese (I like a slice of sharp cheddar, provolone, and pepper jack, each with mine), and the like, to serve prior to main course. After main course serve slices of fruit as a desert. Don't forget to have a cappuccino after the last course.
Pretend you're in Italy and have a great day.
