Spaghetti With Peas, Zucchini Ribbons, and Garlic Shrimp image

This is a combination of 2 recipes from the April 2007 issue of Martha Stewart Living. Each can certainly stand on its own, but together, they are a fabulous meal. Add a salad, possibly some crusty garlicky bread, and dessert and it would be complete, company worthy meal that is actually very, very simple.
