Lemon Pasta with Grilled Shrimp

Everyone has the idea that this year is going to be different they are going to work out more and eat more healthful meals. Well guess what I was thinking the same thing. My husband joined the gym and I started to work out with the Wii fit. We also started to make better choices when it came to food, after all the yummy fattening foods over the holidays it was time for a change. I was thinking that we should swap out meat and chicken for a few meals and have more fish and seafood. Oh yeah and lots of fruits and veggies. So after a week of carrots and hummus and oranges and bananas, I was looking for something heartier. I stumbled across this recipe Ina's Lemon Pasta with Roasted Shrimp   in Food Network's Magazine and of course in pure Shosh's Yummy Food fashion I changed it up a bit. So here's my take on it...
