Notes

Storage Information:
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the sauce in advance and store it in the fridge.
  • Storage: This pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing this recipe. The cream sauce and shrimp may not thaw or reheat well.
  • Reheating: Heat slowly over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
