This is a great dish to transition from the heavy winter meals to light and fresh ones for Spring.
It's a warm dish but there are no heavy sauces involved which makes it light and healthy. The peas and basil give it a fresh taste plus the protein from the shrimp rounds out the meal.
This dish is perfect for when you don’t have a lot of time to prepare dinner. The key is to multi-task. While the water is heating up and the pasta is cooking, you can prepare all of the other ingredients. Cooking the shallots, garlic & shrimp only takes a few minutes and your dinner will be ready in no time.
Using a pasta pot like this one from Bial etti will save you lots of time as you don't have to dig for a colander to drain your pasta and you'll have less dirty dishes!
Most of the ingredients in this dish are things you keep stocked in your pantry (pasta, olive oil), freezer (peas + shrimp) and fridge (garlic, shallots + basil) making it very easy to put a quick dinner together. This gives you extra time to enjoy this fabulous spring weather!
