Can I use another type of pasta?
Absolutely. Penne , linguine , or fettuccine work well too — just make sure it’s a pasta that can hold the sauce.
How do I keep the shrimp juicy Avoid overcooking. Shrimp only need a few minutes per side. Once they turn pink and curl slightly, they’re done.
Is this freezer-friendly?
Not ideal. Seafood doesn’t reheat well from frozen. But leftovers keep in the fridge for 2 days.
