It has garlic, it has shrimp and it’s deliciously creamy! What else is there to say? Ooh, yeah it has a kick to it, making it resemble ever so slightly one on my all time favourite Spanish dishes “camarones al ajillo” or garlic shrimp. Lastly, it is lightning fast to make. You have to try it!
I usually don’t make pasta because even though I love it it seems like pointless carbloading, but using whole wheat pasta I can give some peace to my conscience and enjoy a delicious tasting dish.
Enjoy!
