If you enjoy creamy pasta full of fresh seafood then this recipe is definitely worth considering. A quick recipe that you can whip up in under half an hour.
We used farfalle pasta but you could easily use your favorite; fettuccine or spaghetti are both great options. A hollow pasta such as ziti or penne is also good because the sauce will end up inside the pasta - every mouthful of pasta will include creamy deliciousness!
As with most recipes, choosing good-quality shrimp will really help with the quality of the dish. You can use fresh oysters if you prefer but the canned variety will work great and it will save you some serious cash.
