Just something created last night with some fresh shrimp available and we had a hankering for some pasta too! This light tomato based sauce also has some spinach and a sprinkling of fresh grated Parmesan cheese and blue cheese crumbles adds a twist of innovation and flavor. Served over fresh al dente angel hair makes this a real treat. Monique has another shrimp spaghetti recipe that she makes in a more traditional tomato sauce preparation so I named this version in honor of her.
