MARRY ME SHRIMP VS TUSCAN SHRIMP

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.

WHAT DOES MARRY ME SHRIMP 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.
