Shrimp Rotini Pasta Recipe – FAQ

1. How do you make shrimp rotini pasta with creamy garlic sauce?

Start by cooking rotini pasta until al dente. In a pan, sauté onions, garlic, and shrimp in butter, then deglaze with white wine. Add heavy cream, Parmesan, and seasonings to create a rich, creamy sauce. Toss in the pasta, stir well, and finish with fresh parsley and more Parmesan.

2. What kind of shrimp works best for this pasta?

Jumbo shrimp is best for a meaty bite, but large or medium shrimp work too. Just make sure they’re peeled and deveined for easy eating.

3. Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes! Just thaw it first by running it under cold water for a few minutes. Pat dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture in the sauce.

4. What can I substitute for white wine in the sauce?

If you don’t want to use white wine, swap it with:

• Chicken broth for a similar depth of flavor.

• Lemon juice + water for a slight acidity.

• A splash of apple cider vinegar diluted with water.

5. How do I prevent shrimp from overcooking?

Shrimp cooks FAST—about 2-3 minutes per side. As soon as it turns pink and opaque, remove it from the pan. Overcooked shrimp becomes rubbery, so keep an eye on it!
