I love the combination of oranges and seafood. Adding mint leaves makes this pasta dish very refreshing.

-The key is to pour some extra virgin olive oil over the pasta right before eating.
This improves the aroma and makes it even more delicious.
-If you don't like mint, you can use basil leaves and this pasta will still be amazing. Recipe by Sumireno usagi
