Notes

Tips & Variations

Use peeled and deveined shrimp to save time.
Don’t overcook the shrimp or they’ll turn rubbery, pull them off the heat as soon as they turn pink.
Add a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Toss in fresh parsley or basil for extra flavor and color.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a little olive oil to keep the pasta from drying out.
