Home Chef
Lightly sauteed the tomatoes and bell peppers in the olive oil and served the whole dish hot when the pasta and shrimp came out of the pot - it was delicious and we can eat it cold the next day for lunch.06/24/09

This recipe is very similar to one that a friend gave me and than another friend and I enhanced with the shrimp, kalamata olives, diced cucumber.. We have used about 2 tablespoons of the Greek seasoning in place of herbs. Excellent "keeper" and crowd-pleaser.06/12/09
