creamy shrimp pasta

This Creamy Shrimp and Mushroom Pasta is ready in under 20 minutes. Noodles tossed in a herb infused creamy sauce with shrimp and mushrooms.

Creamy Shrimp and Mushroom Pasta

fettuccine

Tablespoons butter (, divided)

fresh (, sliced mushrooms)

garlic (, minced)

cream cheese (, cubed)

parsley (, chopped)

basil

boiling water ((reserved

raw medium shrimp (, tail off)

Boil and generously salt a large pot of water and cook your pasta according to the package directions. Make sure to save 1/2 cup of pasta water for later in the recipe.

While your pasta is cooking, cook your shrimp for a couple of minutes in a pan or until pink.

In a large skillet melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and saute mushrooms until soft and brown. Season with salt and pepper.

Reserve cooked mushrooms and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add minced garlic, cream cheese, and herbs. At this point, the cream cheese will look scary and lumpy. Don't worry, it will smooth out later when we add the water.

Simmer cream cheese mixture until well blended. Get a scoop (1/2 cup) of boiling pasta water from your noodle pot and mix it in, stirring and whisking quickly until sauce is smooth.

Keep sauce hot and add shrimp and mushrooms, mix well and simmer (stirring often) until everything is hot and thickened, about 5-6 minutes.

Toss sauce with cooked noodles and serve.

garlic

salt

oz sun-dried tomatoes ((without oil))

half and half

mozzarella cheese (shredded

basil basil you can add more))

red pepper flakes (crushed, add more to taste)

How to cook pasta

Note: if using sun-dried tomatoes in oil (in a jar), make sure to drain sun-dried tomatoes from oil, before using them. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this drained oil for sauteing the shrimp as described below:

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil (reserved from the sun-dried tomatoes jar - see the note above, or use regular olive oil) in a large skillet on medium-high heat.&nbsp;

Add shrimp with minced garlic.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cook the shrimp on one side for about 1 minute, until shrimp turns pink or golden brown on that side. While it cooks, sprinkle salt over the shrimp to cover every single shrimp.

Make sure not to crowd the shrimp in the skillet, otherwise, moisture will form and shrimp won't sear right.&nbsp;

After 1 minute, flip the shrimp over to the other side and cook for about 30 seconds or 1 minute more.&nbsp;

The shrimp should be golden color or pink on both sides and not overcooked.

Remove the shrimp to a plate, being careful to leave all the oil in the skillet.

How to cook shrimp

To the same skillet, add sun-dried tomatoes (drained from oil and sliced into smaller chunks, if needed) and more minced garlic.

Saute sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil (remaining from shrimp) on medium heat, stirring, for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. The skillet should be hot.

Add half and half to the hot skillet with sun-dried tomatoes and bring to boil.&nbsp;

Add shredded cheese to the skillet, and quickly stir in while boiling. Immediately reduce to simmer.

Continue cooking the sauce on low simmer heat, constantly stirring, until all the cheese melts and the creamy sauce forms.&nbsp;

If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of half-and-half or reserved cooked pasta water.&nbsp;

Add basil, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika. Stir.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt gradually, stirring on low heat and tasting (you might need slightly less than 1/4 teaspoon).

How to make creamy Mozzarella sauce

Add cooked pasta to the sauce, and reheat gently on medium heat.&nbsp;

Add the cooked shrimp, stir it in.&nbsp;

Taste, and season with more salt, if needed.&nbsp;

Let everything simmer on low heat for a couple of minutes for flavors to combine.

Note: Make sure to salt the dish just enough to bring out of the flavors of basil and sun-dried tomatoes.

shrimp shrimp

red pepper flakes

Cook pasta

Heat a large skillet until hot - add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and immediately add garlic and shrimp.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Cook on one side for about 1 minute until pink, on medium-high heat.&nbsp;

Flip the shrimp to the other side.&nbsp; Sprinkle the top of the cooked side of shrimp with dry basil, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt.&nbsp; Cook for another 1-2 minutes, occasionally stirring, until shrimp is pink on both sides.&nbsp;

Remove the shrimp from the skillet. If shrimp is a little undercooked - it's OK because you will continue cooking it in the sauce.

To the same, now empty, skillet, add sliced mushrooms.  Add more olive oil if necessary.&nbsp;

Cook on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, occasionally stirring, until mushrooms become soft and release juices.  Sprinkle with a small amount of salt midway through cooking.

How to cook mushrooms

To the skillet with mushrooms, add cooked shrimp.  Immediately add 1 cup half-and-half.&nbsp;&nbsp;Bring to boil.

Add half the cheese (1/2 cup).&nbsp; &nbsp;Bring to boil, and immediately reduce to medium-simmer.&nbsp; Cook, constantly stirring, until the cheese melts.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Gradually start adding the remaining cheese (1/2 cup), while stirring.  Do not add all of the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese at once.  Add just enough for the sauce to get creamy without getting too thick.  You might not use all of the remaining cheese.&nbsp;

Remove from heat. Taste, and add more salt if needed.

Add cooked and drained pasta from step 1 to the skillet with shrimp and mushrooms and cream sauce. &nbsp;Reheat on medium heat. &nbsp;Stir well.&nbsp;

If the cream sauce is too thick and you want it thinner - add some pasta water in small amounts to the cream sauce (while the sauce is simmering on low-medium heat) until you reach desired consistency.&nbsp;

Season with more salt and add more crushed red pepper flakes and basil, if desired.

Shrimp Alfredo

fettuccine (0.67)

garlic, minced (0.32)

heavy cream (1.00)

Parmesan* (1.08)

salt (or

tsp freshly cracked pepper (or to taste) (0.02)

Tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional) (0.10)

If your shrimp is frozen, thaw and peel before beginning. You can remove the tails or leave the tails on, if you prefer.

Bring a pot of water to a boil for the fettuccine. Once boiling, add the fettuccine and boil until tender (7-10 minutes). Reserve a ½ cup of the starchy water before draining the pasta in a colander.

While the fettuccine is boiling, prepare the shrimp and alfredo sauce. Place the peeled shrimp on a cutting board and pat dry with a paper towel. Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add 1 tablespoon butter to a large skillet and heat over medium. Once hot, swirl to coat the surface of the skillet with butter. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or just until opaque and pink (do not overcook the shrimp). Transfer the cooked shrimp to a clean bowl.

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes, or just until it is very fragrant but not brown.

Add the heavy cream to the skillet and whisk to dissolve any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Allow the cream to come up to a simmer.

Whisk the Parmesan into the hot cream until melted. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.

Add the cooked and drained pasta and cooked shrimp back to the skillet with the sauce (make sure to add any liquid from the bowl of shrimp). Toss everything until coated in sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick or dry, add some of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.

Taste the pasta and add more salt or pepper if needed. Top with chopped fresh parsley and serve!

Couple of adjustments that I made; don’t use the flour, add pasta water instead. Pasta water already has starch in it, which acts as a thickener. Also, instead of using all the broth, use part of it and sub white wine. It added a lovely addition to the taste! I used calamarata (or pacchiere, it’s also called)  pasta.

I struggle to make recipes come to life in my kitchen but this recipe was detailed and user friendly. It is the tastiest dish I have made from any recipe outside of my family and I will definitely be remaking it. It has made me hopeful to explore other recipes on the site.

What is a single serving size for this recipe? Is the nutritional information provided the total
For all four servicing or is it for one?
For example is the 722 cal for one serving or the total for the entire four servings?
