* Depending on your calorie goal you can up the shrimp and pasta a bit and still have a healthy meal. You can also play a lot with this recipe. Sometimes I make it with chicken only or even chicken and shrimp. I have made it with canned tuna and it tastes good too, I just leave the tomato out because I dont like tuna with tomatoes
. To make a bigger batch just double everything but the lime. I would add lime juice little by little and see how it tastes, and remember that after you chill it, the lime taste will be a bit stronger.
I hope you enjoy!
