You can vary this recipe, by adding more or less heavy cream to milk if desired. As well add some tomato paste to the cooking process for a slightly different taste. However, you decide to make it. It will be tasty either way!

Also, you may replace the shrimp with chunks of salmon if desired. Which would work just as good as this recipe that has shrimp.

WHAT DOES MARRY ME SEAFOOD SHRIMP PASTA TASTE LIKE

It tastes a lot like Tuscan Shrimp which is a Sicilian Italian dish. Which has seasoned shrimp cooked in a creamy broth along with spinach or basil and sun dried tomatoes or fresh baby tomatoes and of course parmesan cheese and lemons.

MARRY ME SEAFOOD SHRIMP PASTA VS TUSCAN SHRIMP PASTA

The only difference between these two popular dishes is that Marry Me Shrimp uses “Red Pepper Flakes” and some “Tomato paste” . I typically omit both as I much prefer the sun-dried tomatoes and chicken / cream / parmesan flavors to dominate the dish.
