Easy weeknight pasta dinners are the best! Make this quick and easy garlic shrimp pasta tonight. You will love every single bite!
I realized that I haven’t really posted any pasta recipes, so here goes the first one. And it’s so good!
Delicate shrimp with delicious garlic flavors, seared to perfection and infused with white wine. The addition of fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and parsley make this easy weeknight pasta dinner a winner!
You know that pasta craving you get after a long day? Yup, that’s how I felt last week. After a busy day at work and dealing with this crazy thing called life, all I wanted was to come home, make an easy dinner with minimal clean-up, and still feel like I was eating a restaurant-quality dish.
This was SO good. Like, seriously. Even though every ingredient stood out, the best part was the wine-butter sauce! Delicate, subtle, and elegant.
And don’t forget to pin this recipe! 🙂
Kitchen Tips
- Cook the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes per side. If shrimp is overcooked, it will become tough and gummy.
- Toss the diced tomatoes last so they will maintain their shape and freshness. Fresh tomatoes give a nice contrast to the cooked pasta and shrimp.

This was an amazing meal and totally easy. I added cherry tomatoes when I added back the shrimp, plus a bit of cornstarch. Cooked on high. It took a bit to cook it down with the tomato juices but was DELIGHTFUL.
