Packed full of flavor, this Buttery Cilantro Lime Shrimp Pasta is your new go-to recipe for seafood night!
Ohhhh how I adore SHRIMP! Â When I was recently invited to participate in the Finlandia influencer recipe contest using Finlandia butter, I knew it had to include shrimp.
Because what’s better than perfectly seasoned shrimp floating around in a bed of pasta with a velvety butter sauce?! Â NOTHING!
I am so fortunate to have access to fresh, local shrimp. Â The shrimp in this recipe are seasoned with a simple mixture of ground cumin, salt and pepper.
What’s even better is that if your shrimp are already peeled, this recipe comes together in under 30 minutes for an easy and delicious weeknight meal – BONUS!
Finlandia butter is made from the purest milk from Finnish family-owned farms with ZERO artificial ingredients or added hormones.
Finlandia is owned by farmers who treat their cows like family, which is important to me… I’m definitely an animal lover! Â My friends Christy and Rick eat with me sometimes during the week (they know how much I love cooking!). Â My rescue dog Baby is like family, as you can tell.
There is definitely a difference when it comes to the flavor of butter, and when it comes to cooking shrimp I don’t skimp.  The simple Finlandia butter sauce in this pasta is off-the-chart amazing. Enjoy!

Very good. Softly sauteed a third of a small, chopped onion and salt and cumin for about seven minutes to start. I added some zucchini because I had some that needed to be eaten. Sauteed the zucchini with the shrimp. Also added the wine just a minute before stirring in the cooked tagliatelle pasta to mix it all and secure the flavors in the pasta. Lots of chopped cilantro on top at serving. It was really delicious. Thank you.

I made it a complete meal by adding veggies. I sauteed sliced mini peppers (red and yellow), onions, 1/4 of a jalapeno, some zucchini that I had on hand, garlic in 4 TBS butter in a separate pan while the pasta was cooking. Then I cooked the shrimp separately according to the directions above.
I added lime and wine to veggie saute – then some chopped spinach. When shrimp was done, I added the shrimp with the veggies and then the pasta. Chopped cilantro on top! SO Delicious!
