Kraft Recipe Makers Shrimp With Creamy Tomato Sauce

CREAMY SHRIMP AND TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously, then add the spaghetti. Cook until al dente. Before draining, reserve a mug full (at least a cup) of the pasta water.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the tomato sauce and the Italian seasoning. Bring to a bubble, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the sauce cook and reduce for about 10 minutes.
• Increase the heat slightly, and stir in the cream. Once the sauce is back to a simmer, add the cheese and stir until melted. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
• In another skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook just until pink, 4-5 minutes.
• Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, along with the shrimp. Stir to combine, adding the starchy pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Serve, topped with parsley if desired.

Steps:

• Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add shrimp to skillet and saute for 3-4 minutes, or until shrimp have just turned pink on both sides (stirring frequently). Transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside.
• Add chicken broth, pasta sauce and Italian seasoning to skillet and stir to combine. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Add pasta and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for approximately 12 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
• Add heavy cream and stir well to combine. Add cooked shrimp and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, or until shrimp are heated.
• Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired and garnish with chopped fresh basil.

CREAMY TOMATO GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Cook pasta al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. (While pasta is boiling, prepare shrimp sauce.)
• Heat the butter in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the onion and fry until transparent. Stir in the garlic and fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds), then add in the shrimp with the basil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sauté shrimp for 2 minutes on one side; flip and continue to sauté on the other side for a further minute.
• Quickly add in the sauce, crushed bullion (or stock powder), parsley, pepper sugar and remaining salt. Allow the sauce to heat through for another minute before adding the milk (or cream). Continue cooking for a further minute or until the shrimp are cooked through.
• Once the pasta is cooked and drained, stir it through the creamy tomato sauce; toss until combined. Season with extra salt if desired.
