Shrimp & Pasta Primavera

 Have you seen these spices with a recipe at you grocery store?  I am all about trying something new!!  Even though I probably had most of these spices (actually had them all) I wanted to try this recipe :)  It made making the dish easy and fun after a busy week.  The recipe was great and I could really see using this kind of package if you go away at a vacation rental and want to do some of your own cooking!
Package Includes:
1 1/2 tsp. dill weed
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. minced onions
1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. thyme leaves

You will also need:
8 oz. linguine
1 pound large shirmp, peeled and deveined
3 1/2 cups assorted vegetables, such as broccoli florets, sliced carrots, red bell pepper strips and peas
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
Directions:
Cook pasta in large saucepan as directed on package, adding shrimp and vegetables during the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking.  Drain well.

Mix remaining ingredients in same saucepan.  Bring to boil, stirring constantly with whisk.  Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes.  Add pasta, shrimp and vegetables; toss gently to coat well.  Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
