Comments
Quick and easy, can be made with pasta, and jar sauce or your own sauce, shrimp is served on the side in bowls with the butter sauce. I usually pour the leftover sauce on top of the pasta for a leftover. You can use 2 pounds of shrimp if you want to, but don't double the sauce. I hope you enjoy!
