Shrimp Pasta

This was a quick and easy recipe that my husband whipped us for us last night for dinner. I'm feeling a bit under the weather so Scott took over the kitchen for me and did an excellent job on this meal. It was creamy and perfect! Scott even took the leftovers in his lunch today to work (and my husband is NOT a big leftovers person)
