RECIPE: Pasta with Shrimp & Broccoli

I made this last night for dinner, and it's a keeper. I pretty much stuck to the recipe, although I used fresh broccoli and about 8 ounces of penne. I also used the whole cup of cream because I really wasn't sure what to do with just 1/2 cup of whipping cream left in the container. Since I had some cooked frozen shrimp to use, I added the full amount of garlic to the sauce and just added the shrimp at the end.

Okay, so other than that, I pretty much stuck to the recipe... LOL
