Shrimp Pasta Recipe

I have different shrimp pasta recipes but this recipe is my absolute favorite because it’s made with a beer sauce!

If you don’t like beer, you can use dry white wine. If you can’t have alcohol in your food, you may use chicken broth for this recipe.

Shrimp and Pasta

Shrimp and pasta are perfect together when it comes to making quick and easy meal for weeknight dinner.

I love shrimp. It’s a healthy seafood and lends the most amazing flavors to a simple pasta dish.

Shrimp is not too expensive and you can get frozen shrimp in a bag for as low as $6.99 at Target. For pasta, I love using spaghetti.

You can also use angel hair pasta, linguine or fettuccine. Other than that, penne and fussili are great, too.
