    Creamy Tomato and Shrimp Pasta is a quick weeknight dish you can throw together in no time and it is loaded with shrimp for protein and vegetables. 

    Creamy Tomato and Shrimp Pasta

    I got this recipe from a Tasty video that I saw online and just adapted it to what I like and added in some extra things. Everybody should be familiar with Tasty videos on Facebook these days right? Sometimes, I must admit that I could sit in front of my laptop and watch those type of cooking videos for a couple of hours at least.

    This creamy shrimp pasta dish is pretty weight watcher friendly. It has some zero point veggies and shrimp for protein. If you want to be even extra healthy, use some whole wheat pasta noodles instead. The sauce might not look like it's thick enough when it gets done cooking so let the pasta sit out for a couple of minutes to cool down a bit and the cream sauce should turn creamy. This was a really good recipe and would make it again. Next time, with more shrimp and some parmesan cheese.

    Ingredients Needed

    • 3 tablespoons light butter
    • 2 lbs shrimp, deveined and peeled
    • 1 cup tomato, chopped
    • ½ cup green onion, chopped
    • 2 tablespoons chili powder
    • ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 2 teaspoons pepper
    • 1 cup milk
    • 3 cups of rotini pasta 

    How to Make Shrimp Pasta

    1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
    2. Cook the shrimp until pink.
    3. Add the tomato, green onion, chili powder, parsley, salt, and pepper, stirring until evenly mixed.
    4. Pour in the milk, bringing to a boil.
    5. Stir in the cooked pasta until well-coated.
    6. Enjoy!

    Frequently Asked Questions and Tips 

    What can I serve this with?

    You can serve this as is or try adding some vegetables to it like peas or serve some broccoli on the side.

    How do you figure out points for recipes? 

    Nutrition info is calculated with the zero point food included in the recipe. If you’re using the nutrition info to figure out points it might not be the same as what the points are listed in the notes section. I use the recipe builder to calculate points. Myfitness pal for nutrition info. 

    Other seasonings to try?

    Old bay seasoning or Cajun seasoning

    How to store leftovers: Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge. 

    This can be prepped the day ahead.
