Ingredients

Scale

Pasta and Broth

  • 8 oz spaghetti or linguine pasta
  • 3 cups vegetable broth

Shrimp and Protein

  • 12 oz fresh or frozen peeled and deveined shrimp

Sauces and Flavorings

  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Shrimp and Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp if needed. Finely mince the fresh garlic and chop the parsley. Prepare all ingredients before starting to cook to ensure a smooth, fast process.
  2. Sauté the Garlic in Plant-Based Butter: Heat the plant-based butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, releasing its sweet aroma as the base of the dish.
  3. Add Shrimp and Cook Until Pink: Add shrimp to the pot and sauté for a few minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook to maintain a juicy texture.
  4. Incorporate Pasta, Broth, and Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce: Add pasta along with vegetable broth and a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Pour enough broth to just cover the pasta, allowing it to cook evenly while absorbing flavors.
  5. Simmer Until Pasta is Tender: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed, forming a creamy sauce.
  6. Finish with Lemon Juice and Fresh Parsley: Stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adding a bright contrast to the rich garlic butter sauce.

Notes

  • Use medium heat to avoid burning garlic and browning butter too fast.
  • Fresh shrimp enhances flavor and texture, but frozen shrimp works if properly thawed.
  • Test pasta 1-2 minutes before package time to avoid mushiness.
  • Stir gently and occasionally to keep pasta strands intact and evenly coated.
  • Reserve some pasta cooking water to loosen sauce if needed.
