Creamy Shrimp and Pasta image

From Prevention. This isn't the most attractive pasta sauce I've ever made, but it sure is yummy! It is a great use for cooked shrimp, which I often find on sale. The original recipe calls for snow peas instead of green beans (add to pan with shrimp, don't boil) and roasted red peppers instead of fresh. I was worried at first that there was too much thyme, but it comes out nicely in the end.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces whole wheat pasta
1 cup chicken broth
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup skim milk
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup red pepper, chopped
kosher salt, to taste
parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare pasta according to package directions. In the last three minutes add green beans. Drain all together.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the broth, onion, garlic, red pepper (if using fresh), thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • In a measuring cup, whisk together the milk and flour until smooth. Whisk into the broth mixture. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and begins to boil. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Add the shrimp (along with snow peas and roasted red peppers if you opt for the original recipe). Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until the shrimp is heated through.
  • Toss the pasta and bean mixture with sauce, season to taste with kosher salt, and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parmesan cheese, if desired.
