Hey there! This is Richa from My Food Story and I’m so excited to write a guest post for Kankana today who is one of my favorite bloggers out there. Aren’t her pictures absolutely stunning? Today I’m bringing you a delicious creamy butter garlic shrimp pasta which is the perfect date night dinner recipe. It’s incredibly easy to make which means that you get to spend more time cozying up on the couch than you do making this meal.
I live in a small beach town called Auroville with my husband which means we always have access to good quality seafood. And we love shrimp or prawns because they are so fast to make. Moving to Auroville means many more cozy date nights for us. We usually cook a fast meal like this creamy butter garlic shrimp pasta, pour ourselves a glass of wine and take our food outside. Set up a small table and share a meal while looking at the stars. Idyllic isn’t it? This shrimp pasta recipe comes together really fast in a creamy luscious sauce that will have you wiping the pan clean. It’s rich and satisfying and your better half will always ask for seconds. Which is what we all want right?
THE BUTTER GARLIC SAUCE
The butter garlic sauce is a combination of five simple ingredients – butter, garlic, cream, parmesan and pasta water. Yes, pasta water is that one secret ingredient that takes your pasta from creamy to luscious in seconds. The next time you make pasta don’t throw away the water – reserve some to thicken the sauce. You’ll be surprised at the difference it can make. I love using long strand pasta like tagliatelle, spaghetti or fettuccini for this recipe because every bite is a slurpy delicious mix of sauce and pasta. And who else is with me on getting excited about twirling their pasta around a fork? I hope you love this recipe as much as we do. Its quick, easy and absolutely delicious!
