Recipes FAQ

Can I use a different type of pasta?

Yes, you can use any type of pasta you like. Linguine, fettuccine, or penne would all work well.

Recipe Tips

  • Be sure to cook the spaghetti until al dente. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and won't hold up well in the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp or they will become tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just pink.
  • If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley flakes instead.
