This recipe was given to me by my friend Dora. It had no name, but it was a dish we had at her house so that is why I called it "Dora's Shrimp Pasta". I lost touch with Dora years ago, but have made this recipe many times, shared it just as many times and have even made it differently. But each time I have made or shared the recipe, have thought of that day at her house when she served this dish and shared her recipe.
