Variations & Tips
If you have picky eaters, consider substituting the shrimp with cooked chicken or even a mix of vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. You can also use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta to fit various dietary needs. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your favorite herbs—basil or oregano can add a lovely touch.
