Introduction

This meal was an accident. I had bought a 26 oz. Stouffer Skillet Sensation Grilled Chicken and Shrimp Dinner but we had company that night and when I cooked the meal it was much less than I thought it would be so I started adding things to it. Everyone raved about it that night and two teenage boys named it Shrimp Pastica. This is one of my family's favorite meals. It's good served in a bowl with buttered bread. Sometimes I still use a frozen pasta dinner as the base and just add shrimp, tomatoes, and rotini to it. This meal was an accident. I had bought a 26 oz.
