I created this dish tonight on the fly and it turned out pretty good! You can adjust the "heat" to your liking and any other spice for that matter. I think it would also be good with chicken. (Next time) Easy and quick to make but the result gets the "wow factor" from guests (hubby in my case LOL)
Ingredients
- shrimp ( I used raw 50-70 per lb. size, frozen, tail off, about 20 or so) shopping list
- fresh mushrooms - sliced (About 6 white - or your preference) shopping list
- Approx. 1/4 cup chopped sundried tomatoes (jarred, packed in oil) shopping list
- 1 tsp. minced garlic shopping list
- 1 cup chicken broth (I use Swanson's low sodium) shopping list
- 1 block cream cheese - 8 oz. (I used Philly light) shopping list
- red pepper flakes to taste (I used about 1 1/2 tsp or so, we like it HOT) shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. dried sweet basil (fresh would be wonderful) shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. dried coriander shopping list
- salt to taste shopping list
- 6 oz. dried pasta (guesstimate) cooked to al dente (your preference, I used shells) shopping list
How to make it
- Thaw shrimp, if frozen, in cold water
- Boil water for pasta, add when ready (duh)
- In large pan, add chopped sundried tomatoes (some of the oil will be with 'em)
- Add garlic, saute over med. low heat for approx. 3 mins.
- Add chicken broth, bring to simmer
- Add cream cheese, incorporating till smooth
- Add red pepper, basil, coriander, and salt
- When pasta is about 5 minutes from being done, add shrimp and mushrooms to sauce
- Stir while cooking
- Drain pasta when done and add to sauce to fully incorporate
- Serve immediately.
- Goes great with asparagus or broccoli as a side.
