Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Serve this main dish with a mixed green salad for a tasty weekday meal.

Note

For a stronger or milder flavor, use more or less chipotle peppers to taste.

Shrimp Sizes

The size of a shrimp is indicated by the count or number of shrimp per pound. The smaller the number, the larger the shrimp. Shrimp size terminology varies from place to place, so the count is the most accurate way to call for shrimp in a recipe. A basic guideline is: 11 to 15 is jumbo; 16 to 20 is extra large; 21 to 30 is large; 31 to 35 is medium and 36 to 45 is small.

This recipe was a big hit at my house. I only put about a 1/2 T of Chipotle to keep my youngest happy. We topped ours off with a chipotle rub after cooking, and it was fantastic. One of my top 10 faves now. Quick and very easy to make.

LOVED this pasta!! I made it for my extended family & doubled the sauce. I made with 1/3 fat cream cheese & 2% milk.... Turned out great!! I used pre-cooked cilantro shrimp from costco which complimented the sauce perfectly. Would recommend!!! Just remember to constantly stir the sauce.

Oh my!!! I think this is so good!! I added some garlic to the sauce, with craked pepper and sea salt. Sauteed the shrimp with some mrs dash SW chipotle and used whole wheat bowtie pasta. I think this gives the chain restaurants a run for their $$$

Excellent! I may have added too much chipotle because it was super hot, but I love super hot. Everyone in my family loved it!
