Fish Friday Foodies is a group of bloggers who want to add more fish and seafood into their diets.  We decided to help each other by sharing recipes on the 3rd Friday of each month based on an ingredient or theme chosen by one of the members.

We love having new members and fresh ideas.  If you are a food blogger and would like to join in the fun just leave a comment below or email me at wendyklik1517@gmail.com with your blog name and url and I will be happy to add you to our facebook group.

This dish has a LOT of garlic.  I'm a huge garlic lover and don't believe that there is ever a thing as too much garlic.  The only other ingredients in this dish is the shrimp, seasonings and the pasta.  I served it up with a simple chopped salad and a loaf of rustic bread.  I kept dessert very easy as well serving up a No Bake Banana Coconut Cream Pie.

It was a very casual evening with dear friends who we don't get to see often enough and wanted to be able to spend as much time as possible visiting.  This was a perfect menu for that purpose.  

You can halve the recipe and it would make an amazing and lovely Valentine Day Dinner paired with a bottle of bubbly, sparkling Rose wine.
