The story behind
The combination of fusilli with a garlic cream sauce and fresh shrimp became an instant family favorite. It captures that homemade essence that works perfectly as a main course, maintaining a restaurantl look with a homemade soul.
Instructions
-
11. Pasta Prep: Boil the fusilli in plenty of salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve one cup of the pasta water.
-
22. Sauté Shrimp: Season shrimp with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
-
33. Sauce Base: In the same skillet, pour in the evaporated milk and chicken broth (or reserved pasta water). If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk the flour into a bit of cold milk first and add it in. Simmer over medium-low heat until slightly thickened.
-
44. Integration: Add the cooked fusilli to the skillet with the garlic cream sauce. Add the reserved shrimp and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
-
55. Final Touch: Serve a generous portion on a white plate as seen in image_17.png. Top with a heavy dusting of long-shredded Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper for a clean, professional finish.
