Notes

  • Freezing: Can you freeze this? Freezing is not recommended as the texture of the vegetables and pasta may change.
  • Pairing: What to serve with this? Consider serving with garlic bread and a crisp salad.
  • Experiment: Try adding different vegetables or swapping the shrimp for chicken or tofu.
  • Make it your own: Add your favorite herbs or spices to enhance the flavor.
