Since we're trying to increase the amount of seafood we eat, I'm always on the lookout for quick and tasty eats, and of course, since it was Saturday, I also wanted to use up the various odds and ends we had around. Looking around, I saw some grape tomatoes and collard greens nearing their ends. Maybe a quick shrimp dish with pasta? Pasta's usually pretty quick. And so a dish began forming. I could cook up some onion and garlic for flavor, throw in the greens, and then tomatoes and shrimp! Quick and easy, not to mention tasty. :) You could also substitute spinach for the collard greens - just throw them in at the end. Hope you enjoy!
What's a dish you made just by "throwing stuff together?"
