I’ve taken a couple of weeks off from the blog and so excited to get back to pumping out recipes. Sometimes life throws us curve balls and we need to regroup, but taking the time to regroup is always a good thing!
As I was making this shrimp pasta I couldn’t help but to think of how thankful I am for being blessed to do what I love most… bring you simple and delicious recipes to enjoy with your family and loved ones. This pasta is comfort food at its finest!
The sauce in this pasta is creamy but not overly heavy. The addition of zesty lemon and fresh dill are so refreshing! If you boil your pasta while you’re preparing the shrimp and cream sauce, this recipe comes together in under 30 minutes. Score!
