Spicy Creamy Garlic Shrimp Pasta. A very quick and easy weekday meal that you can have on the table in about 20 minutes. Ideal for last minute dinner guests.
This very quick and easy creamy garlic shrimp pasta dish is one I often use for a quick lunch. I also use it as a go-to recipe for last minute dinner guests.
Because it takes only about 20 minutes to prepare, I always seem to have frozen shrimp on hand. Unexpected guests are never an issue when you have plenty of recipes like this.
It's a good reason to have things like frozen shrimp or scallops in your freezer. They thaw quickly and cook quickly too.
It's a secret weapon for meals in minutes.
A very versatile recipe that need not be spicy if you don't want.
If you are not a fan of spicy food, you can easily omit the chili paste. Substitute a tablespoon or so of dijon mustard to the sauce instead for an equally good dish without the kick.
Who doesn't need such a versatile dish in their recipe arsenal?
