.....

A delicious, easy dish for company or just a special dinner for two at home.

1 pound frozen self-serve shrimp (we bought pre-cooked shrimp at the farmer's market)
1/2 pound dried linguine
3 tbsp. olive oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
About 3 Roma tomatoes, diced (1 cup)
20 leaves fresh basil, cut into strips
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon juice

Defrost shrimp in refrigerator or under cold running water 3-5 minutes. Pat dry. Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, heat oil on low in large skillet. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute (do not brown). Add shrimp and cook 2 minutes on medium. Add diced tomatoes and basil, and cook an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze lemon juice over the top. Toss with cooked pasta.

Serve with a nice white wine and tossed salad. You could also serve the appetizer we made, bruschetta with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.
