Shrimp Pasta Recipe

I believe that you can never go wrong with pasta. Throw it in whatever meal and time of the day, and guaranteed that it will go fast in a snap. It is considered one of the most popular food all over the world, and all cultures have included this in their cuisines. This Italian creation has crossed boundaries because it is very versatile and satisfying to every palate.

Pasta cannot stand on its own. It has to be cooked with a certain type of sauce to make it more appealing and delicious. There is the classic tomato sauce and the different cream-based sauces. The possibilities are endless. The addition of meat, like chicken and beef, also adds to the depth and flavor.

Another favorite meat addition is seafood, from scallops, to mussels, lobsters and of course, shrimps. This recipe is Shrimp Pasta in Tomato Sauce. Shrimp goes well with pasta because it also blends well with all types of sauces. It also cooks really fast, so you can whip it up in a few minutes without any fuss.

This recipe is easy to follow and the sauce is simple to make as well.
