Creamy Shrimp Pasta

This creamy Rich Shrimp pasta is a quick and delicious recipe that comes together in 30 minutes.

How do you cook perfect dry pasta each time?

Always oversalt your pasta water before boiling to ensure the pasta is cooked with enough salt.

Add in the pasta only when the water comes to a rolling boiling state.

Cook the pasta Al dente ( A tad bit under cooked as per packaging instructions). That way the pasta can cook a little bit along with the pasta sauce and make it tasty.

No need to rinse the pasta or add oil to the water, the trick is to add the pasta hot from the pot to the sauce.

Prepare the sauce while your pasta is boiling and not vice versa..
