Shrimp Corn Pasta
Report
This Shrimp Corn Pasta is a delicious mix of sweet corn, succulent shrimp, salty parmesan, and a good splash of cream. It makes the perfect summer pasta dinner. The simplicity of this dish hides something amazing, corn and butter are a wonderful mix, and when you add parmesan into the mix, the sauce for this pasta starts to come together. Use fresh corn in summer if possible, but this is also great with canned/frozen corn!
