Tomato Shrimp Zucchini Pasta

I love fresh summer pasta. I find it therapeutic to throw in seasonal ingredients together and see what kind of magic happens. This has been a go to weeknight meal for us. I don’t always add shrimp but we really love shrimp in pasta and it works so nicely in this recipe. You can choose to add or omit!
