Vegetarian Option: Swap the shrimp for grilled chicken or roasted vegetables like zucchini and bell peppers for a lighter, vegetarian alternative.
Spicy Shrimp: For a kick of heat, add more red pepper flakes or drizzle the finished dish with sriracha or hot sauce.
Lemon Zest: Add a bit of fresh lemon zest to the sauce for a bright, citrusy twist that complements the richness of the mozzarella.
FAQ:
Can I use other types of cheese?
Yes! While mozzarella is key for the creamy texture, you can experiment with other cheeses like Gouda, Fontina, or even a bit of cream cheese for a different flavor profile.
How can I make this dish ahead of time?
To make this dish ahead, cook the pasta and shrimp, then store them separately. When ready to serve, make the sauce and combine everything. This will prevent the pasta from becoming too soggy.
Can I use frozen shrimp?
Frozen shrimp can be used, but be sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before cooking to ensure the best texture and flavor.
