    Shrimp with Squash and Penne is a light seafood meal with summer veggies. Once the zucchini start showing up in the gardens, I know it is time to make this dish! It is quick and easy to put together and very satisfying. A very bright and fresh flavor due to the lemon sauce. If you're a shrimp lover, you must try this one out!

    I have made Shrimp with Squash and Penne for as long as Grumpy and I have been together.  Saying that, I have made this dish for the last 14 years!  I can't believe for as long as I've made this that I have never blogged it before.  Grumpy used to request it regularly and I enjoyed making it because it is a recipe that is on the lighter side.  I originally made this with Penne, but you can use any pasta shape you have on hand.  Tonight I used baby bowtie pasta.

    Right now, I am only allowing myself to have a limited serving of carbs and the only actual pasta/bready type carb I am allowing with my dinner.  Tonight, this was my carb and it was pretty darn delicious if I do say so myself.  🙂

    If you don't like seafood, you could always substitute chicken for the shrimp.  Also, feel free to change the veggies up to your own tastes.  I use mushrooms, onions, zucchini and yellow summer squash for the most part. I like to cook my shrimp, but you can also just toss in pre-cooked shrimp right before serving to warm it up and forgo the cleaning etc of the shrimp!
