Shrimp with Penne and Squash

SUBMITTED BY: Grumpy's Honeybunch  PHOTO BY: Grumpy's Honeybunch 

"You can vary this recipe to your own tastes. I most always add onions to the garlic when frying and skip the minced green onions. I have used baby portobello mushrooms also. I always use fresh garlic! This is hubby's favorite meal."
