Intro
Grape Tomato Shrimp Pasta is a recipe developed due to an overabundance of Grape tomatoes from my home garden. This is a great recipe it has amazing flavor and just the right balance of pasta & sauce. If you don’t like shrimp you can substitute it with chicken. This will make about four servings and is much easier to make than you may initially think. Prep work is key for this one. Grape Tomato Shrimp Pasta you should give a go and enjoy with a friend.
