Sun-Dried Tomato Shrimp Penne

FAQs

Can I Use Frozen Shrimp?

Yes! If using frozen shrimp, thaw them before cooking. Place the frozen shrimp in a colander and run cold water over them for a few minutes until thawed, then pat dry with paper towels before cooking.

Can I Make This Dish Gluten-Free?

Absolutely! Simply swap the regular penne for a gluten-free pasta of your choice. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free.

Can I Use Different Pasta?

Of course! While penne is great for holding the sauce, you can use other types of pasta like fettuccine, rigatoni, or even spaghetti. Just adjust the cooking time according to the pasta type.

What Can I Use Instead of Heavy Cream?

If you want a lighter sauce, you can replace heavy cream with half-and-half or even milk. For a dairy-free option, try coconut cream or a plant-based cream alternative, though this will slightly alter the flavor.
