🥘 Recipe of the Week: Shrimp Scampi Pasta

The genius of this recipe is that all of the ingredients--wine, garlic, shrimp -- even the pasta -- cook together in one pot. Just make sure to use shrimp that's still frozen or they will overcook. You don't have to serve garlic bread with the dish, but there's nothing better for sopping up all that delicious buttery sauce.
