Expert Tips Look for 41/50 count shrimp, which are a good size to team up with cherry tomatoes and other chopped veggies. Boost the nutrition without adding calories by including halved sugar snap peas or quartered artichoke hearts (packed in water). Whole-grain pastas do take a little longer to cook but are still tender and offer more dietary fiber than bleached-flour pastas. A small sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese would add lots of flavor without adding a significant amount of fat. Finish off each serving with a generous handful of chopped fresh herbs.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp that are cooked properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little bit of heat.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • You can also add other vegetables to the pasta, such as broccoli, zucchini, or bell peppers.
