Shrimp and Sausage Pasta Recipe

ADVERTISEMENT

  • Sauté shrimp: Cook shrimp just until pink (1–2 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  • Make the sauce: In the same pan, sauté garlic and onion, then pour in cream, seasoning, and a sprinkle of parmesan. Let it simmer and thicken slightly.
  • Toss everything together: Add sausage, shrimp, and cooked pasta back into the pan. Mix until coated. Use reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  • Serve: Garnish with more parmesan and chopped parsley or green onions.

  • Pro Tips

    • Don’t overcook the shrimp – they cook fast and stay juicier when removed promptly.
    • Add veggies – Bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach make great additions.
    • Lighten it up – Use half-and-half instead of cream, or a tomato-based sauce for fewer calories.
    • Spice it up – A dash of cayenne or red pepper flakes adds extra kick.
