The colors. The flavors. The pure joy of pasta, shrimp, lemon, and shallots with a kick of heat fixes all the world’s ills and makes us feel like we’re luxuriating in a wealth of good ingredients.

Or, as Forrest Gump said, “Now, Mama said there’s only so much fortune a man needs, and the rest is just showing off.”

It’s a little bit of an embarrassment of riches on the plate.

And the best part is it takes less than 20 minutes to pull together. Yes, you read that right.

All of the wonderful bright, shrimpy goodness will be on your plate in less time than it takes to find a good movie on cable to watch with dinner.

However, we recommend watching Forrest Gump – you know – just as a little ode to Bubba. The man loved shrimp.

And if you're up for a challenge, here's a list of 21 easy shrimp recipes to go along with Bubba's many ways to eat shrimp.

Now round up your ingredients, get a small cutting board ready and grab an F.N. Sharp Chef Knife, or even a Santoku or utility knife if you prefer, for some shallot dicing and garlic mincing –  and if you need to devein some shrimp, a paring knife will come in handy. Now let's dig in!
