Ingredients for the amazing 10-minute creamy garlic shrimp pasta

  • Pasta.

    You are free to use your favorite Pasta. I love Fusilli or Penne for this creamy sauce.
  • Spinach.

    Fresh or frozen, you choose. I prefer lots of fresh spinach for this recipe. You can add as much as you want. The green leaf is a super healthy source of Vitamin A, C, Vitamin K1, Folic acid, Iron, and Calcium. Spinach also contains several plant compounds, such as Lutein, Kaempferol, nitrates, and quercetin. Each of those compounds can improve health, such as eye health, heart health, decrease the risk of cancer and chronic diseases, and many more. You can read more at healthline.com
  • Shrimps.

    Tiger, Brown, White, and Pink Shrimp all work well. Frozen or fresh, it’s up to you. Let’s talk about some nutritional facts. Shrimps contain antioxidants, which may help your brain and heart, and fatty acids. They are high in cholesterol, which is considered as bad, although a study has shown that only a quarter of the population is sensitive to dietary cholesterol. Please buy high-quality shrimps, because many are low-quality farm-raised, and full of antibiotics. Therefore quality is key.
  • Garlic.

    The main flavor in this dish is that’s why we will need 4 garlic cloves. We keep it very simple with the Ingredients, this one is very important. The cloves bring the dish to the next level.
  • Onion.

    One big yellow onion for the perfect flavor. The classic combination of garlic and onion. It’s so good.

any tips?

  • Try to cook the pasta right in the beginning as the sauce won’t need much time.
  • The pasta can be stored for 3 days in the fridge, but I wouldn’t recommend leaving it longer than 3 days.
  • If you’re

    gluten intolerant

    use gluten-free pasta.
  • If you’re

    lactose intolerant

    use lactose-free heavy cream.
  • If you use frozen Spinach thaw it before cooking.
  • If you use frozen shrimps, thaw them before cooking. If not, the sauce will absorb the frozen shrimp water and manipulate the taste.
  • If you follow the steps you will not have a spicy garlic taste afterward. But if you want to feel garlic free afterward, eat fresh basil leaves. This really helps!
