    I am thrilled and honored to do a guest post for Erica, I adore her blog and its one of the first one's I first started to follow I always get inspiration and have developed a Love for Colombian cuisine. I was on twitter yesterday speaking to LaBellaCook and was in the mood for a fresh Shrimp and pasta recipe so she kindly sent along one!
    I added spinach and peas and got some wild Key West shrimp. It is easy to make and delicious, hope you like it.
