Louis' Shrimp Pasta Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Blister the Tomatoes

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the blistered tomatoes and cook until they start to burst and caramelize, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Shrimp

   In the same skillet, add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Sauce

   In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt. Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the spinach, blistered tomatoes, shrimp, and cooked penne to the skillet. Toss everything together until the spinach wilts and the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Stir in fresh basil and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Serve

   Divide the shrimp pasta among serving plates. Top with shaved Parmesan and serve with slices of grilled baguette on the side.
