Ingredients:
- 1 pound of shrimp
- 1 pound of pasta
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup of corn
- 1/2 cup of broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup of sliced carrots
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta
Start by cooking the pasta according to the package directions. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook until al dente, which usually takes around 8-10 minutes. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and set it aside.
2. Cook the shrimp
Next, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are pink and cooked through. Once the shrimp is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Cook the vegetables
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, corn, broccoli, and carrots. SautΓ© the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes, until they are tender but still crisp. Make sure to stir them occasionally so they cook evenly.
4. Combine everything
Add the cooked pasta and shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables, and toss everything together. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the dish and toss again until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
5. Garnish and serve
Finally, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top of the dish and serve it immediately while it is still hot. You can also add additional Parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes to taste.
Tips:
- If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables instead. Just make sure to thaw them before cooking.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked shrimp instead of raw shrimp. Just add the pre-cooked shrimp to the skillet at the same time as the vegetables, and cook them together for a few minutes.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta, such as linguine or fettuccine, for a slightly different flavor and texture.
- If you like your pasta dish to be a bit more saucy, you can add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the skillet while cooking the vegetables.
In conclusion, this homemade garlic shrimp pasta with corn, broccoli, and carrots is a delicious and healthy meal that you can make easily at home. By following these simple steps, you can create a restaurant-quality dish that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more. So why not give it a try and enjoy the taste of homemade cooking today!
