Creamy Shrimp Pasta  – Pasta smothered in a creamy sauce infused with garlic and herbs  & tossed through with Juicy shrimp. Spicy, Buttery, Creamy Shrimp and pasta   ready in 30 minutes.

 Creamy Pasta

Happy Monday!!!

Don’t have a menu for the day? No worries ! This is just one of those meals that is a no brainer !

 Instead of ordering out you can get this super tasty meal on the table and satisfy the whole family, when you are press for time .

My son does not like shrimp – lucky me. I get to eat his share but he loads up on the pasta and it’s always a struggle to get him to stop. And hubby always wants seconds. It never disappoints .

So this is a spin off recipe from this my super quick, super flavorful 15 minute Cajun Herb Shrimp– one of my favorite ways of enjoying a quick yet flavorful meal on a weeknight.

 After making this for a while, I decided to switched things up by adding some cream and tomato paste to it to make it more comforting, creamy and elegant.. Like a fancy shmancy restaurant and it worked beautifully.

Creamy Herb Pasta

The end result is – a simple, yet rich and elegant weeknight meal, good enough for a celebratory meal with friends or a weeknight dinner.

Creamy Herb shrimp Pasta

The hardest part to this dish is chopping of the herbs –it takes less than 3 minutes – then you are set. Get the spaghetti going so as soon as the sauce is ready you are good to go. I have made this with and without Parmesan cheese. I am not going to lie, it taste better with Parmesan cheese. But I have a few family members who say otherwise.

 Make it to your heart’s desire. Don’t let anyone rock your boat !

Enjoy!

    This turned out amazing, too bad I don’t see how to put up a picture. My husband is the cook so I mostly watched. He added extra creole seasoning and red pepper flakes. But I am stuffed and this was an amazing new meal for us. Thank you so much,Crystal

    Very good, we enjoyed this. I didn’t veer from the recipe and I am not a fan of oregano, but it worked very well. Instead of fresh herbs, zI used 1/3 tsp of dried thyme and oregano. I didn’t have to add salt to the sauce because the stock has enough.

    Look forward to trying more of you recipes.
