It’s been long since I posted a pasta recipe and this lemon shrimp pasta has been one of our most sought special occasion treat 🙂 I’m using a ‘lemon, garlic white wine’ sauce in this recipe which is simply Divine!
Also, I’m planning it for our Valentine’s dinner menu. We would rather stay home, make this cozy White Wine Shrimp Pasta and have a nice dessert along with some wine.
Ingredients for the Lemon Shrimp Pasta in Garlic White Wine Sauce :
Shrimp Pasta (I’m using fettuccini, but you can use any pasta of choice) Nice Dry White Wine or Sherry (I’m going to list wine option below) Some Heavy Cream (or light depending on your choice) Lemon, Garlic & Herbs (what I call the Flavor Power)
Once you have all the ingredients (listed in the recipe card below), the dish comes together in 27 minutes. I’m listing a couple of tips below to get the maximum flavor out of this combination
: How to Make Lemon Shrimp Pasta in Garlic White Wine Sauce :
Make the Shrimp First: I recommend cooking the shrimp first and then using the same pan to make the ‘Wine Sauce’. This adds a nice shrimp flavor to the sauce. Lump-Free Sauce: Any cream+flour base sauce needs to be whisked a lot to get a lump-free consistency. Incase, lumps form, then strain using a siever before you add shrimp or pasta. Lemon-Garlic Flavor: Always use fresh lemon juice and garlic in recipes like these. Adds so much more flavor. Also ‘artificial lemon juice’ becomes kind of sour in cream, hence fresh lemon juice adds a nice simple flavor. Addition of Lemon Juice: Add the lemon juice towards the end of the recipe as it might curdle the cream a little.
