You can vary this shrimp and squash recipe to your own tastes. I always add onions to the garlic when frying and skip the minced green onions. I have used baby portobello mushrooms also.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups thinly sliced yellow squash
- 3 cups thinly sliced zucchini
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ pound dried penne pasta
- ½ cup minced fresh chives or green onions
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Warm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in yellow squash and zucchini; cook for 10 minutes. Stir in shrimp and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper; cook for 2 more minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain and pour into a large bowl.
Step 3
Pour shrimp and sauce over penne, then sprinkle with chives and Parmesan. Stir to combine.
