Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Shrimp Pasta Delight
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fettuccine or linguine, cooking until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and diced bell pepper; cook until fragrant and tender, roughly 2 to 3 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high, add fresh shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and Jamaican jerk seasoning to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium, pour in coconut milk and lime juice, stirring to combine. Let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Gradually add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
- Toss the drained pasta directly into the skillet with the shrimp and sauce. Stir well to coat all pasta strands. Heat together for an additional 2 minutes.
- Plate the Shrimp Pasta Delight, garnishing with fresh cilantro on top and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
