Ingredients needed
This shrimp pasta recipe needs only a few ingredients and is always a delicious dinner. I prefer using whole shrimp or prawns that I peel and devein myself. I find the texture to be much better than the already peeled frozen shrimp. However, if that’s all you can find, absolutely use that. Fresh garlic and lemon make all the difference in the sauce. Again, I prefer crushing my garlic cloves myself. Crushed garlic from a tub just doesn’t taste as good to me and often just stinks out my fridge.
Shrimp / Prawns. Peeled and deveined. If using frozen, thaw overnight and pat dry with paper towels before cooking. If you want to make this with lobster, I would suggest following my Creamy Lobster Pasta recipe. Butter. Fresh garlic cloves. Heavy cream/whipping cream. Lemon juice. Fresh parsley. Other fresh herbs like chives, oregano and dill are all delicious with shrimp. Salt and black pepper. Pasta of your choice. I prefer long shapes for this recipe. Linguine, Spaghetti, Tagliatelle, Fettuccini or Pappardelle will all work.
How to make shrimp pasta
What is the difference between prawns and shrimp?
Shrimp or jumbo shrimp as they are called in the USA and what many other nations call prawns are pretty much exactly the same thing. So when you see an American recipe using shrimp, they are using prawns (usually Tiger/Queen prawns). Similarly for American readers, if a recipe calls for prawns, simply use shrimp/jumbo shrimp.
