Tasteful Thursday - Shrimp Florentine Pasta

Dinner time at my house can be somewhat of a challenge sometimes.  My daughter and I ♥♥♥ pasta; my husband not so much.  My hubby and daughter ♥♥♥ cheese; me I'm allergic.  My daughter doesn't like spicy dishes; hubby and I do.  Do you see where I'm going? 

I love trying new recipes and if they are healthy, easy and good on the points for Weight Watchers for me all the better.  J 

I tried this recipe hoping it would be a hit since (believe it or not) we all LOVE shrimp of any kind.

Of course, my dishes NEVER look as good as in the magazine or on the internet!  I can tell you though it is DELICIOUS!
