Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. Stir in the heavy cream and cooked pasta, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

  6. Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, ensuring they are coated in the sauce and heated through.

  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

  8. Serve the Shrimp Shack Pasta hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
