I Found The BEST Shrimp Pasta Recipe!
Linguine with shrimp is seriously one of the most delicious seafood pasta dishes. Fortunately I found the BEST shrimp pasta recipe. Honestly I don’t have the words to adequately describe how delicious this dish is. I initially found this recipe in a newspaper clipping a few years ago and have held onto it.
For me, this dinner is a HUGE treat. It’s luxurious, it’s scrumptious, it’s incredible. Got the idea? 🙂
The recipe comes from chef Giuliano Hazan’s “Giuliano Hazan’s Thirty Minute Pasta: 100 Quick and Easy Recipes” cookbook, which tells you that you can create this pretty quickly. It is everything you could want in a shrimp pasta dish! Every mouthful is full of shrimpy, garlicky, and creamy delight!
In the recipe you use 3/4 lb of shrimp…and 2/3 of the shrimp is actually finely chopped (I did this in my food processor) which contributes to a meaty-like consistency for the sauce.
