Herb & Garlic Pasta With Shrimp
Who doesn’t love Shrimp & Pasta with Garlic for a meal! Make this as spicy as you want by adding red pepper flakes or leave them out all together. Made with a chicken broth base and the added flavor of herbs and spices is what makes this taste so good!
Ingredients
In a large non stick frying pan, melt
the butter over medium heat. If using
fresh garlic add it and cook a minute.
I used garlic from the jar so I didn’t add it yet.
Add red pepper flakes, paprika and parsley.
Continue to cook for another minute.
Add the shrimp.
Toss the shrimp until they a are completely
coated with the butter mixture.
Cook about a minute on each side or until
the shrimp turns pink but do not over cook.
Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Cook the pasta al dente according
to the package directions
Drain pasta.
Return pasta to the hot pan you
cooked it in. Cover to keep warm.
In a medium pot over medium heat
add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
Whisk in the cornstarch a little at a time
so it doesn’t lump up. (If you do get
lumps pour the broth through a strainer
before adding it to the shrimp.) Bring to a
boil and cook until slightly thickened.
Pour the broth into the shrimp
pan with the shrimp and heat for
one minute over medium heat.
Add the shrimp and broth to the pasta.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
Place on serving plates and enjoy!
