Creamy spicy shrimp pasta recipe is so much easy to make whenever you quench of exotic food. And quick to make, here you will also find how to make this recipe in less than 15 minutes.
I generally cook faster and many ask me how do I able to make it quicker when compares to others. And my answer to them is 'Planning them ahead and breaking them into simpler modules'.
Sounds interesting right? Any cooking can be done faster if you break them into small modules.
Like in this creamy spicy shrimp pasta recipe which can be divided into three modules. Similarly for any other recipes like Sriracha Shrimp pasta and Shrimp Bruschetta Pasta.
- Cooking pasta
- Cooking shrimps
- Making sauce for pasta
I try to make these modules simultaneously to cut down the cooking time almost by half. I switch on three burners all at one time. One with the higher flame to cook pasta for 10 minutes. Another one with a medium flame for cooking shrimp and the last one with simmer flame for making a sauce for pasta.
This way I complete making this recipe in 15 minutes. This is how I do it with other recipes as well. This method is easily manageable and everyone can do it as well.
