This is one favour packed shrimp! Even my super picky 7 year old loved this, which is saying A LOT.

If you’re looking for a way to change up your pasta game —  this is it. Shrimp first gets sautéed in buttery garlic and a hint of basil, before being smothered in a creamy marinara sauce (or passata for us over here), with linguini, fettuccine, or your pasta of choice mixed through with a generous amount of parmesan cheese. Good…huh?

My house has become a crazy town. Videos flying left, right and centre. Children flying centre, right and left. Food flowing out of our ears. Daily supermarket runs happening in two’s or three’s because chemo brain equals colander brain (ie. many holes in it = thoughts drain out easily). And one pan meals, like these, saving my life.

You would think with all of the food being cooked in here, we wouldn’t need to come up with dinners… BUUUHT there are enough of us here to start a soccer team. Or, that’s what it feels like with the noise reaching critical levels.

All that chaos aside, I sat myself down last week with a glass of wine (may have been over-sized), and thoroughly enjoyed every creamy, tomato-ey, pasta/shrimp filled moment.

    I didn’t have marinara sauce, so I made it myself

  4. This recipe is one of the best recipes I’ve ever made! In fact, I love it so much that I made it twice this week, and plan to make it once a week from now on! Thank you Karina!! I wish I could give it a thousand stars!

  5. Hello! In the directions it doesn’t say when the divided black pepper is supposed to be added, or the pinch of sugar. I made this last night, and just added the pepper and sugar when I added the passata. I hope I did it right! Either way, it turned out to be amazing! Thank you so much!

  6. This is fabulous, extremely flavoursome and great for quick meal with tossed salad for unexpected guests

  10. Lol when people can’t read and criticise you for it. My mom went out and bought shrimp to make this for me since I’ve been wanting shrimp and pasta but didn’t know what flavor to make it in. Your email answered my prayers.

  14. You must get so frustrated with people who fail to read properly. I will rate this recipe appropriately because we made it for lunch and it was DELICIOUS! Easy to follow you never disappoint Karina dear. My favourite food site by far!

  16. Hi. PLEASE re-read the ingredients list, numbers 8 and 13! These INGREDIENTS make up the creamy tomato sauce. In future, please make a recipe first before rating it!

  17. Hi Karina

    You did not mention in the INGREDIENTS about creamy tomato sauce which will be used in the end.
    Kindly advise.

  18. Hi Karina
    I was wondering if the prawns are supposed to be green (that is not already cooked) or are using already cooked prawns.
    Regards
    Kim
