I don’t think this quite counts as a ‘real’ recipe because the main ingredient is store bought (kind of like last week….) but I don’t really care because I am loving whipping up quick dinners lately.

By the time I get off of work, do my run, and finally get home for the night, the last thing I want to do is spend an hour making a meal from scratch.

Enter the magical ready-made sauce:

Perfect for throwing together savory pasta when hangry. 

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups uncooked orzo
• 1 cup frozen broccoli
• 1 1/2 cups frozen shrimp, cooked
• 1/4 red onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup trader joe’s garlic sauce
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tsp olive oil

Directions:

Cook orzo.

Heat a large skillet with olive oil and onions.

Zap the broccoli in the microwave and add to skillet, along with the thawed shrimp.

Let simmer for 3-4 minutes Add salt and pepper and garlic sauce and stir.

Pour sauce over pasta to serve.
