BEST GARLIC SHRIMP PASTA BAKE

TOP REVIEWS:

I would 100% make this dish again. Perfect and easy to make for a family meal. I made it without dill (only because I forgot to buy it from the store) and it was a hit. Paired with a nice Chardonnay called Buttercup.

Absolutely delicious and easy to make. Will definitely make it again. Thank you.

I would give this 10 stars if I could. Followed the recipe exactly and it was amazing. Loved the flavors.

I have not cooked this particular recipe, but I would definitely change a few things based on reading it.

First of all use extra vigin olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I would sautee the shrip in olive oil, butter and a few cloves of fresh garlic. Garnish with some fresh basil and freshly grated parmesean cheese. You could also add some fresh peeled/seeded plum tomatoes.

Simple but not sure why some of the steps are in there? Like many others I did the following. 1. Pasta and strain 2. Saute the garlic, butter and shrimp in a pan. 3. Season with salt, pepper, dash of cayenne, onion powder, parsley, orageno. 3. Toss in pasta. 4. Serve. No leftovers and everyone loved it.

I think this is a very easy dish, and the flavor suggests otherwise. But I did put my own spin on it. I sauteed the garlic in a pan in butter, then added the shrimp and sauteed, then the pasta.. with a little bit of salt and cheese.. easy 🙂

I made a lot of modifications and it turned out great. I sauteed the garlic in olive oil and butter. Then I added the shrimp, 2 tomatoes, about 1 tsp of lemon juice, dash of pepper, dash of cayenne pepper, onion powder and about a tsp of tarragon. Served with the parmesan cheese. We loved it!

Want a super satisfying, quick and easy dinner? Then this buttery garlic shrimp pasta bake is definitely a family pleasing meal idea that you should try!
