Garlic Shrimp Rotini

I was looking in my Clean Eating mag a few months back and ripping all the recipes out to try. Finally the other way when transporting cleaning spots, this recipe fell on my floor and begged me to make it. Ok, maybe not begged, but it ended up staring at me when my stomach was growling so it was thrown into this week's menu plan. I can't rave about it enough.
