Lemon Shrimp Bucatini with Beet Greens and Cauliflower.
This is a super simple pasta recipe that has a lemony sauce punched up with pungent capers that further enhance the umami flavors of the dish! Protein rich with seafood and vitamin rich with organic vegetables, my Lemon Shrimp Bucatini with Beet Greens and Cauliflower is a perfect balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats! You can use any seafood that you like or skip the fish altogether for a vegetarian version, maybe use beans to add protein. I used organic beet greens today but any organic green leafy vegetable is fine, such as chard or kale. The organic beet greens gave my Lemon Shrimp Bucatini with Beet Greens and Cauliflower a tint of color and wonderful flavor; the organic cauliflower gives the dish a layer of healthy substance! Enjoy my Lemon Shrimp Bucatini with Beet Greens and Cauliflower with a fresh green salad and dry wine of choice; just delicious!
