Pasta with shrimp and mushrooms in creamy sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pasta with shrimp and mushrooms in a creamy sauce? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. I use linguine in the recipe, but you can replace them with another long pasta, for example, spaghetti, tagliatelle, fettuccine, etc. You can also cook this dish with short pasta. You can replace or supplement shrimp with other seafood: mussels, squid.

2. STEP 2

   

   Thaw the shrimp first and remove the head and shell. You can take any shrimp: regular, king or even larger - Argentinean. Both refined and unrefined. The net weight of the shrimp should be about 400 g. Therefore, if you take unpeeled frozen shrimp with the head on, then you need to take about 1.5 times more.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the mushrooms and cut into slices. You can use both fresh and frozen mushrooms. But keep in mind that you need to take a third or half more frozen ones, because much more moisture will evaporate from them.

4. STEP 4

   

   Finely chop the garlic. You can replace fresh garlic with 1/2 tsp. dry. Also finely chop the parsley.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente (one minute less than package directions). I usually cook the pasta at the same time as the sauce.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the champignons and fry, stirring, until golden brown. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.

7. STEP 7

   

   Reduce heat to low. Add cream cheese, garlic and herbs to the pan and stir to combine.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour in the cream and boiling water (you can take it straight from the pan with the pasta) and stir until smooth and homogeneous.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place mushrooms, shrimp, salt and pepper in pan with cream cheese sauce. Simmer over low heat, stirring, for 5-6 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the pasta in a colander and let the water drain.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add pasta to sauce and stir. Warm everything together for 1 minute.

12. STEP 12

    

    Divide the pasta into bowls, garnish with fresh basil and serve. Bon appetit!

The flavor combinations in this dish are amazing! My sister loves everything unusual in cooking, often prepares “new things” and invites me to a tasting)) The other day she treated me to an Italian dish of fettuccine pasta with shrimp and mushrooms. For me, this is very unusual, festive or something...)) In general, today I decided to conquer my home with a dish ala Italy, pasta with shrimp and mushrooms in a creamy sauce, it turned out very well. Thanks for the recipe!
