Ingredients
- 2 pounds raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 5-7 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 12 ounce small dried pasta
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- STOVETOP INSTRUCTIONS: Set a large pot of water on high heat and bring to a boil. Add a few pinches of salt. Then cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Usually 6-9 minutes for al dente pasta. Drain the pasta in a colander.
- Meanwhile, set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter, garlic, and shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the shrimp are pink. They should look like C's, not O's. O stands for overcooked.
- Add the lime juice and half the cilantro. Stir well. Then toss in the cooked pasta, cream, and remaining cilantro. Stir for 1-2 minutes to coat the pasta and allow the sauce to thicken. Serve warm.
- INSTANT POT INSTRUCTIONS: Place the pasta in the Instant Pot. Add the butter, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups water. Cover and lock the lid into place.
- Set the Instant Pot on "Pressure Cook High" for 4 minutes. Once it is finished cooking, turn the Instant Pot "Off", then press the button to "Quick Release" the steam, until the valve button drops.
- Unlock the lid and stir in the lime juice, raw shrimp, cilantro, and cream. Set the Instant Pot on "Sauté" and cook for 3-4 minutes, toss and simmer until the shrimp are pink. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
