Hello, foodies!

Watching her bake and cook sparked my love for food, and I've been experimenting in the kitchen ever since.

As a lover of entertaining and hosting parties, I've developed a repertoire of dishes that always leave my guests asking for more. One of those crowd-pleasers is my garlic and shrimp spaghetti – a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for any occasion or a romantic date night. Give the recipe below a try!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb deveined Argentinean peeled & deveined shrimp

  • Red pepper flakes

  • Olive Oil

  • Green Beans

  • Carrots, diced

  • 1/2 Red bell pepper

  • 1/2 Green bell pepper

  • Garlic cloves

  • Toppings: Fresh parsley or chopped scallions

  • (Optional) Freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, drain, and set aside. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the cooked pasta to prevent sticking.

  4. Season with thyme, a pinch of curry, red pepper flakes, salt, and bouillon cubes/powder. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  5. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until pink and cooked through.

  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until evenly coated with the shrimp and vegetable mixture.

  7. Serve hot and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or scallions. For an extra indulgence, sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
