Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pasta with shrimp and mushrooms in a creamy sauce? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. I use linguine in the recipe, but you can replace them with other long pasta, such as spaghetti, tagliatelle, fettuccine, etc. You can also cook this dish with short pasta. You can replace or supplement shrimp with other seafood: mussels, squid.

Step 2

Step 2
Thaw the shrimp first and remove the head and shell. You can take any shrimp: regular, king or even larger — Argentinean. Both refined and unrefined. The net weight of the shrimp should be about 400 g. Therefore, if you take unpeeled frozen shrimp with the head on, then you need to take about 1.5 times more.

Step 3

Step 3
Wash the mushrooms and cut into slices. You can use both fresh and frozen mushrooms. But keep in mind that you need to take a third or half more frozen ones, because much more moisture will evaporate from them.

Step 4

Step 4
Finely chop the garlic. You can replace fresh garlic with 1/2 tsp. dry. Also finely chop the parsley.

Step 5

Step 5
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente (one minute less than package directions). I usually cook the pasta at the same time as the sauce.

Step 6

Step 6
Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the champignons and fry, stirring, until golden brown. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.

Step 7

Step 7
Reduce heat to low. Add cream cheese, garlic and herbs to the pan and stir to combine.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour in the cream and boiling water (you can take it straight from the pan with the pasta) and stir until smooth and homogeneous.

Step 9

Step 9
Place mushrooms, shrimp, salt and pepper in pan with cream cheese sauce. Simmer over low heat, stirring, for 5-6 minutes.
