Shrimp with Summer Squash and Tomatoes Recipe

It sure is summer squash season in Minnesota right now. My one plant, which is gigantic BTW, is averaging at least one a day to be picked. I see alot of new recipes with summer squash on this blog in the near future! I will be trying a variety of ways to serve it, so it's something different all the time. 

This recipe is an instant favorite. I just love the flavor. It's so fresh and bold. The shrimp goes great with the squash and tomatoes and it's fairly quick to make from start to finish. My 5 year old daughter Ella even loved it. Her plate was cleared so fast, I couldn't believe she finished it all. You will love this one! We sure did!
