gluten_free, dairy_free
Ingredients
1 red onion, thinly sliced
3 bell peppers, diced
4 zucchini, diced (or turned into noodles if you’d prefer!)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup chopped fresh mint
2 cups of cooked shrimp (frozen or fresh)
4 cups organic bean pasta
Steps
If your shrimp is frozen, leave it in the fridge to defrost overnight.
Prepare your organic bean pasta as indicated on the package.
While your pasta is boiling, in a large sauté pan, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add your onion and sauté until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the peppers, zucchini and tomatoes, and sauté until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. If your shrimp is fresh, add it with this step to get it nice and hot.
Stir in veggies and shrimp with pasta. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with mint and enjoy!

Bean pasta pro tip: Cook your bean pasta al dente as over-cooked bean pasta gets mushy but well-cooked bean pasta is *superb*!
