Easy Shrimp Pasta for Two

photo by:kraft

Fresh tomatoes and basil are available year-round. That's good news, because this creamy shrimp pasta shouldn’t be enjoyed only in summer.

I make this recipe at least twice a month, it is great! I think you absolutely need to add milk though, the cream cheese does not get thin enough to cover the pasta. I also like to add a little hot sauce, it can tend to be a little bland too so season it up!

OK, vinaigrette with cream cheese sounds awful, right? WRONG! This recipe is amazing. Give it a try!

Great recipe!! Does need a bit of salt and pepper though. I didn't have the suggested dressing so I just marinated the shrimp in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and garlic. I also added a touch of milk after adding the shrimp back into the sauce and some spinach just to have a vegetable. The result was a super fast, easy, and great tasting meal! Will definately make this again.

This dish has such a great taste. I have made it with both chicken and shrimp.

It was a little rich, next time I will add cream until I reach desired thickness. Very tasty, I will definitely make this one again!

Easy to make. I added a little milk to make it saucier and it was as good as the restaurant's dish.

LOVE this recipe and have passed it on to many people. I usually add some sauteed scallops and mushrooms to it. Plus a little extra cream cheese doesn't hurt to make it a little richer.
