The beauty of this is that it can all be made in the time it takes the pasta to cook. I like to grill a piece of chicken to go with it - but you could use shrimp if you wanted or even nothing - it really is that good AND easy. Oh sure you could add things like garlic & ginger, but I don't think you need to.
