The shrimp, pasta, and vegetables are buttery and delicious. The recipe inspiration came from the classic dish for pasta primavera with butter and sauteed veggies.
And we chose I Cant Believe Its Not Butter! products for making the Shrimp Primavera dish because both the spray and the spread have such delicious buttery tastes and I love that the spread adds that perfect butter taste to the shrimp without the calories (its 0 calories per serving!) and I love the tub because it has simple ingredients from plant-based oils, which are good fats and an excellent source of omega-3ALA.
