I did a fresh shrimp pasta primavera when I had company not too long ago - fresh shrimp (swimming the day before); fresh mixed vegies sliced or diced in nice chunks (zucchini, small yellow squash, tomatoes, onions), minced garlic. Stir fry the vegies in olive oil, garlic and onions first, then the squashes. Remove. Saute the cleaned shrimpies, add the cooked vegies back, stir in some olive salad (we get it here, chunks of olives, tomatoes, carrots, onions, in olive oil). Serve over whole wheat pasta with fresh grated parmeasan cheese. I had more vegies and shrimp than pasta.
