I have been making this since I was 20 yrs old. It can be eaten hot or cold. Add a little Parmesan on top. You can sub the shrimp with imitation crab. Works just as well. My time for prepping and cooking was one hour total. Because I have high blood pressure I do not add a lot of salt, so this could be a bit bland for some. It has a bit of a dry texture and to fix that just add extra olive oil to coat the pasta. Everything cooked in the pan is placed on top of the pasta and mixed until it is blended. As a side dish I usually have green beans or broccoli.
