Basil Shrimp Pasta

I don’t know about you, but I sometimes feel as though every single thing in my refrigerator and pantry is boring and nearly inedible. I know there is potential there for culinary greatness, but I’m too lethargic to search for meaning by way of pasta and beans.  Usually at those times, I talk my boyfriend into taking me to the hamburger/Mexican joint in town where I always find something (usually a cheeseburger)  that trips my trigger.

A  few nights ago, however, I just didn’t want to bother putting on shoes to get in the jeep and go out to eat, so I stared at the pantry until I had a plan.  It had to be easy peasy and fast because Jeopardy was about to start!
