{Cooking at home} Penne with Shrimp and Lemon Oil

We’ve been cooking and eating Asian style food during the holidays.  I felt like some pasta for dinner last night.  When it comes to pasta recipes, I usually can find one by Giada De Laurentiis that I can use with ingredients I have.  This Penne with Shrimp and Lemon Oil pasta is adapted from Giada De Laurentiis‘s recipe, Linguine with Shrimp and Lemon Oil.  I just bought two bags of penne from Trader Joe’s yesterday for our pantry, so I used penne instead of linguine.  I also substituted arugula with baby spinach.  I skipped parsley because I don’t have it.  The pasta turned out great, and I learned a new cooking tip to prepare frozen shrimp (watch the video in the link).
