Pasta With Shrimp and Wine

Wineaux's Note:

This is one of the best pasta/seafood dishes I have ever tasted! I know the recipe came from a cookbook, but a friend gave it to me several years ago (xeroxed the page) and the title of the book doesn't appear. Sorry I can't give credit! I've made it with scallops, too, and it's just as good.

Loved this! I'm not a fan of tomatoes, but in the interest of color I added them, they were perfect for this. I think next time I'll add a whole can of diced. Very easy to make. My girls ate it up and my husband wants it again soon. Thanks for a yummy pasta dish.
