not just another scampi

tired of scampi? me neither. however, there is more than one way to skin a shrimp, so to speak. just because you want shrimp and pasta, in an easy dish, doesn't mean you have to load up the butter. one of my favorite things to make is a dish i originally learned while working at an italian restaurant, from the owner. simply put, saute shrimp in olive oil with some minced onion and garlic, when the shrimp are almost done add a bit of pesto and a splash of dark marsala. jim, the owner, also put in slices of pre-cooked italian sausage and porcinni mushrooms. just cook it all down until the shrimp are done and toss with pasta. wonderful!!
