Ingredients you need for the Creamy Garlic Shrimp Pasta Recipe
Directions
How to make the creamy shrimp pasta recipe:
1. Arrange shrimp in a shallow plate and sprinkle with onion powder.
2. Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and reserve some of the cooked pasta water for later.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved sundried tomato oil. Add shrimp on one layer and cook on each side for about 1 minute each, until shrimp turns pink or golden brown on both sides. Season shrimp with salt while cooking. Remove the cooked shrimp to a plate.
4. To the same skillet, add sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic. Saute sun-dried tomatoes, stirring for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Add the broth and half and half to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add shredded parmesan (or mozzarella) and continue cooking the sauce on low simmer heat, constantly stirring, until all the cheese melts and the creamy sauce forms.
5. Add dried basil, crushed fennel seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika and stir well. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
6. Add cooked pasta to the cream sauce and reheat gently on medium heat.
7. Stir in the cooked shrimp. If the sauce gets too thick, add a small amount of half-and-half or reserved cooked pasta water. Let the shrimp and pasta in the cream sauce simmer on low for a couple of minutes for the flavors to combine. Garnish with grated parmesan, and immediately serve the creamy garlic shrimp pasta. Enjoy!
