We recently started doing something at dinner where we ask our kids to say something nice about their siblings. We started this on a day when they were being a little nasty to each other. I tried not to tie the two things together, and they didn’t really seem to notice my motivation. I wasn’t sure how it as going to go, but it was incredible to watch them easily come up with lists of things they love about each other. They said very real things that they admired about each other or that particularly made their own lives better, like, “She always tries to make me feel better when I’m sad. I loved it. And I also loved that it kind of forced them to get more comfortable with receiving compliments. It actually made this One Pot Creamy Shrimp Pasta taste even better. I’m not kidding. This is a truly delicious dinner that I love making again and again, but the sweet words that went with it made it even better.
One Pot Creamy Shrimp Pasta
This is a recipe that I have had on my blog for years, but the photos didn’t do it justice and I decided it was something I wanted to reshare with all of you. I have to say, these current photos still don’t do justice to how creamy and delicious it is. If you are looking for great shrimp pasta recipes, this one is sure to be a keeper!
How Do You Make Creamy Shrimp Pasta?
As I said, this recipe comes together in one pot. At the beginning of the recipe, there are a lot of steps, and then you just let it simmer until the end when you add the shrimp and cream. I would suggest that you gather all of your ingredients before you start cooking so that you aren’t scrambling to open that can of tomatoes and suddenly your garlic is burning. While I did make it in the skillet you see pictured here, it is easier to make it in a big stock pot that affords you plenty of room for mixing.
