Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has various healthful properties, including antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. What's more, evidence suggests it may offer health benefits, such as aiding weight loss, reducing cholesterol, lowering blood sugar levels.

Shrimp Creamy Pasta Recipe

Shrimp Creamy Pasta Recipe

Here we go again, another shrimp dish. I just love shrimp any way I can get it, for me it does not matter. 

Ingredients 

1/2  pkg.         -  Spaghetti  or any pasta

1 lb.                 -  Med. shrimp, deveined (precooked) tails on or removed.

1 -2 tbsp.        -  Olive oil 

1/2 med.         -  Red onion, finely chopped

2 tbsp.             -  Butter, unsalted

1- 2 clove        -  Garlic, minced

1/2 cup           -  White wine or beer

3/4 cup           -  Heavy cream 

1/2 cup           -  Parmesan cheese shredded + garnish

1 tbsp.             -  Tomato paste 

1 tbsp.             -  Parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste 

Options -  Hot pepper flakes, chili powder, 

Notes:

- In the video, I am using frozen shrimp (thawed), so I  was heating it up and removing part of the moisture that was brought in by the freezing. But you can add the shrimp to the last stage before adding the pasta for about 3 minutes of cooking if you want. 

- As for fresh shrimp, please cook them at the first stage of cooking.

- In any case, do not overcook the shrimp, for it will become chewy and gummy.

-  I did not remove the tails because they are full of flavor. When you bite down on the meaty side just at the tail line, the juices inside come out. Thus giving you a great experience.  But, you can remove them if you like. Thanks for your comment
