Enjoy our easy-to-make Shrimp and Prosciutto Pasta for one that is ready in 30 minutes. This dish highlights the savory taste of prosciutto, paired with tender shrimp, all coated in a creamy sauce and served with perfectly cooked pasta.
Start by cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Once al dente, drain the pasta and set it aside.
In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat.Add garlic and prosciutto to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour in your choice of white wine or chicken broth. Allow it to simmer for 1 minute, letting the flavors infuse.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking each side for 1-2 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
Stir in the cream and Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
Gently fold the cooked pasta into the sauce. Finish by garnishing with fresh, sliced cherry tomatoes for a burst of color and flavor.
Notes
Even Cooking: Sauté shrimp on medium heat for even cooking without overdoing it.
Freshness Counts: Use fresh ingredients where possible for a notable difference in taste.
Sauce Thickness: Adjust the amount of cream to reach your desired sauce consistency.
Pasta Perfection: Cook pasta al dente as it continues to soften when mixed with the sauce.
