Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Saucy Shrimp & Pasta

I love shrimp and I love pasta and when you combine the two, well, I'm a happy girl! IT Guy isn't so much a fan of shrimp so I made this for just me and loved it! It was great right out of the pan and I had leftovers for a few days that were just as good as when the day I made the dish! Super easy to throw together and super yummy. This would be great to make with chicken, too! Just cut your chicken into large bite-sized pieces and continue on!

Saucy Shrimp & Pasta

1 - 2 pounds medium shrimp ~ peeled and deveined
