Shrimp And Mushroom Pasta
I love cooking pasta because it makes a nice and quick dinner and I can almost add anything to it such as vegetables, chicken or beef.
I will never forget the first time I made this shrimp pasta recipe, my youngest daughter told me "mom, can you make this recipe again tomorrow!" she loved it so much.
The Chinese-style sauce is incredible; it has fresh ginger, sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce and brown sugar. Actually, the mixture of soy sauce, garlic and brown sugar takes this shrimp pasta to the top level of perfection.
This recipe is so satisfying, + it comes together in no time. Actually, this recipe is my easy way to serve fabulous Chinese-style pasta that really amazes your family.
Ingredients
