Spicy Tomato Garlic Shrimp Pasta
Easy 30-minute shrimp pasta with a creamy spicy garlic tomato sauce.
Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces noodles of choice , (I love penne, fettuccine, or short spiral noodles)
- 12 ounces shrimp, tails removed and de-veined
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes , (or more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream , or half & half, (fat free half & half works well)
- ¼ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to package instructions. Add shrimp and butter to a large sauce pan or skillet and sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until shrimp turn pink. (If you are using pre-cooked shrimp which are already pink, reduce cooking time to 2-3 minutes, just until shrimp are heated through) Transfer shrimp to a bowl and set aside.
- Add crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to your pan. Stir over medium heat for 5 minutes or so until fragrant and heated through. Add heavy cream (or half & half) and chicken broth. Cover and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Add shrimp to pan and stir to combine. Toss with prepared noodles and serve.
Notes
Milk: the higher the fat content, the creamier and richer your sauce will be.
