If you are in need of a quick meal but full of yumminess, Creamy Shrimp Pasta is your dish.
Let me tell you, this dish can be prepared in about 15 minutes and it is very flavorful.
My family likes shrimp and it is so quick to cook that it’s perfect for this pasta dish. To make things easier for you, purchase your shrimp already, peeled and deveined, then all you have to do is rinse them off and pull the tails off.
I believe this could be one of your favorites to fix and eat. Add a salad and some bread (or not… 😉 ) and there is your complete meal.
Mama Fawn’s Tips. . .
- To make the dish even quicker, purchase the shrimp already peeled and deveined.
- Have all your ingredients prepared and ready. This dish goes real fast.
- To seed a tomato, just squeeze the seeds out once you cut the tomato in quarters.
- The better the ingredients, the better the flavor.
- Feel free to use any variety of pasta, I just like the spaghetti because it grabs the sauce and it cooks quickly.
