Shrimp Pasta

Comes from a random cookbook that I own.

1 3/4 C chicken broth
2 cloves garlic minced
3 T fresh chopped parsley (about 1 T dried)
2 T cornstarch (flour works too same amount)
2 T Lemon juice
1/8 t ground red pepper
1 pound medium shrimp, shelled
4 C hot cooked pasta (about 8ozs uncooked)

In a medium sauce pan mix broth gralic, parsley, cornstarch, lemon juice, and pepper. Over medium-high heat, heat to a boil. Cook until mixture begins to thicken stirring constantly.

Continue stirring constantly while you add shrimp. Cook about 5 minutes more or until shrimp turns pink. Toss with pasta.

Serves 4 with a total cook time of 10 minutes.


I thought it needed a little butter probably 2T not only to give it a creamy texture but to also bring out the flavor of the shrimp. My husband LOVED it as did my 2 year old, though my 4 year old snubbed his nose and told me it was yucky.
