Quick and delicious…
Summer has come to an end. Looking back, I definitely had a great summer and a lot of good memories to cherish. Today was a rainy day and the mighty Sun kept hiding among the clouds all day long. After coming home in the evening, my first thought was to make a hot soup or stew to keep myself warm. But I went with my second thought and made a quick Shrimp Pepper Pasta.
Last weekend, I had bought bell peppers of all colors. They were so pretty that I kept admiring their beauty and gorgeous colors. 
I cooked all the 4 different colored bell peppers along with shrimp. After seasoning them, added tomato sauce and combined with pasta. The pasta tasted so good with the peppers and the shrimp that I had to go for a second round. It was easy to make and unbelievably tasty.
