PENNE WITH VODKA SAUCE AND SHRIMP

DINNER AT HOME

Readers of this blog know that I am a huge lover of Bertolli Tomato and Basil Sauce.  Probably the best pasta sauce you can buy in a jar.  When I saw Bertolli Vodka Sauce for $1.59 a jar at Wall Mart, I just had to give it a try.  We picked up some fresh Kauai Shrimp and used fresh Basil and Parsley from our garden.  A little garlic and shallots completed this simple recipe.  Took only a few minutes to make and looked and tasted great.  The sauce is light with a mild tomato flavor and there is no taste of vodka.  Hey for $1.59 a jar this is a perfect low cost meal that the entire family will like.
