D.O.D. Southwestern Shrimp Linguine

Since we're doing lunches...

I think I sent this before, but as a NYT link to an article about M.R.E.s (y'know - army food that has to have a shelf life of a couple of years..). I had this for dinner last night and lunch today (and dinner tonight!) so it's safe to say that I liked it. I did throw in a little chipotle powder, used a whole lime, and finished it with a couple of tbls of cream to make it a white sauce - just 'cuz. <g>

D.O.D. Southwestern Shrimp Linguine
