This gluten-free summer shrimp pasta is the perfect special meal to jazz up a boring weeknight – plus it’s crazy good.
I made this pasta last Tuesday and all of my boys ate it up. Husband went back for thirds and both little dudes had seconds, topped with lots of parmesan of course. Those kids freaking love cheese.
For this recipe I used fresh summer herbs from my garden, the sweetest cherry tomatoes and honestly – organic frozen corn. It’s just easier. I could buy fresh corn from the market and cut it off the cob and all that, and you’re welcome to, but I didn’t. And it was still perfect and summery and delicious.
Corn is like little kernels of delicious summer treats. My kids scarf down whatever I make as long as corn is present.
Tips for this recipe:
- Save the juice after you cook the corn and set it aside, it’s a delicious part of the sauce
- Cut the shrimp into smaller pieces if you’re serving to kids – makes it easier to eat
- If you don’t love shrimp, use chicken.
- If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, you could use roma or another sweet type.
- I added chives, but feel free to use garlic!
