Bonus Double Recipe Day!

I found a great recipe I want to try on Pinterest.  Yet according my wife, you cannot buy, but have to make, one of the ingredients.  So it is a two for one recipe day.

In order to make this...
Caribbean Shrimp Pasta
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 pounds shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2-3 tablespoons flour
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups mango salsa
  • 8 ounces linguine pasta
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 avocado, diced

Directions:
  • Generously season the shrimp with salt and pepper. 
  • Add flour one tablespoon at a time, tossing to coat, until the shrimp is evenly coated with flour and no longer sticky.
  • Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. 
  • When the oil is very hot and just starts to smoke, add the shrimp in an even layer.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until crust is golden and shrimp are pink. 
  • Remove the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the broth, cream, salsa, and linguine. 
  • Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, diced the avocado and chop the fresh cilantro.
  • When the pasta is tender, stir the sauce to combine, then plate the pasta. 
  • Top with shrimp, avocado, and cilantro. 
  • Serve and enjoy
