Description

Discover a quick and flavorful One-Pot Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta recipe combining tender shrimp, creamy plant-based butter, and fresh seasonings in a simple, vibrant dish perfect for an easy weeknight dinner with effortless cleanup and a zesty twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Pasta

  • 12 oz medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz spaghetti or linguine pasta

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 3 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh Herbs

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Garlic and Shrimp: Melt the plant-based butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden. Add the shrimp, season lightly with salt and red pepper flakes, and cook until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
  2. Cook the Pasta in Broth: Pour the vegetable broth into the same pot. Add the pasta and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until the pasta absorbs most of the broth and becomes tender.
  3. Build the Sauce: Stir the cooked shrimp back into the pot along with the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and an extra pat of plant-based butter. Mix gently to create a glossy, silky sauce that coats the pasta evenly.
  4. Add Fresh Herbs and Serve: Fold in freshly chopped parsley, adjust salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately while warm and aromatic.

Notes

  • Use medium heat to keep shrimp tender and juicy.
  • Cook shrimp in batches if your pot is crowded to ensure proper searing.
  • Reserve a little vegetable broth to loosen the sauce if needed during cooking or reheating.
  • Freshly minced garlic provides the best flavor.
  • Add shrimp at the end to avoid overcooking and rubbery texture.
