Champagne Shrimp And Pasta

I don't remember where i got this recipe, but it has been a favorite of my family's for a long time. I have adapted it to suit my preferences over time. make sure you have your prep work done and your salad and bread ready as this comes together fairly quickly. I usually add a little more of champagne and cream so there is more sauce to sop up with the nice crusty bread. Hope you try and enjoy.
