Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Shrimp Penne Pasta.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, add the penne pasta and let it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 3
When it’s ready, drain the pasta and set it aside, letting it rest while you prepare the delicious sauce.
Step 4
In a skillet, warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 5
As the oil shimmers, toss in the chopped red onion and minced garlic.
Step 6
Sauté them together until the onion becomes tender and translucent, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 7
Next, pour in a splash of white wine and add the diced tomatoes, stirring everything together to create a vibrant mixture.
Step 8
Allow this to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the flavors mingling beautifully.
Step 9
Now it’s time to add the star of the dish: the shrimp! Gently fold them into the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, or until they turn opaque and are cooked through, adding a lovely pink hue to your sauce.
Step 10
Finally, combine the cooked penne pasta with the shrimp and sauce, tossing everything together until the pasta is well-coated and every bite is bursting with flavor.
Step 11
Serve your creation hot, and don’t forget to sprinkle some freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top for that extra touch of deliciousness.
Step 12
Enjoy your meal and the smiles it brings to the table!.
