Creamy Boursin Shrimp Pasta: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 oz linguine or spaghetti
– 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup Boursin cheese (Any flavor)
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cup baby spinach
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish
– Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Creating your Creamy Boursin Shrimp Pasta is straightforward. Just follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.

2. Sauté Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add Shrimp: Place the shrimp into the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Incorporate Cheese: Lower the heat and add the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach. Stir in the Boursin cheese until it melts and creates a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water gradually until you reach the desired consistency.

5. Combine Pasta: Toss the drained pasta into the skillet and mix until the pasta is well-coated in the sauce.

6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes to your liking.

7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired. Serve the pasta while warm, with grated Parmesan cheese on the side for those who like an extra touch.
