Shrimp pasta dish?

Question

I have a bag of 40 small frozen shrimps. I had just put it in the 'fridge to defrost. However, I had made shrimp before but now I am thinking of making a dish combined with shrimp and pasta. It doesnt have to nessacarily be cooked together. My kitchen is pretty empty because I haven't had the chance to go grocery shopping yet. However, I am also looking for a savory thickish sauce to go over the shrimp and pasta. Please help

Answer 2

My favorite pasta sauce for shrimp is a mix made by Knorr. It comes in a little packet for a dollar something. It is their pesto sauce. Easy to make and really really good. All you need is water and a little bit of oil. Put the sauce on the noodles, shrimp on that and sprinkle some parmesan, and you have a great meal!

Answer 4

You didn't mention what you have in your kitchen to make a sauce with, or whether or not you had cream, milk, or lemon~
So, getting creative, think about defrosting your shrimp and making a simple sauce of Cream of Mushroom soup, sour cream, white wine or lemon juice, and parmesan cheese. Add sour cream to soup and wine to thin slightly. Heat and add your shrimp and cheese. Toss with the pasta. Nice additions might include: olives, artichoke hearts, fresh mushrooms, or fresh tomatoes. If you don't have parmesan cheese, then see if you have some feta. If you don't have sour cream, then try plain yogurt. If you don't have artichoke hearts, try asparagas. If you don't have the soup but have everything else, then combine everything and enjoy!
