Salmon Rasta Pasta

by Shauntay Parrish

As some of you may know, I am currently working on a Seafood Ebook. Originally, this recipe was going to be featured in it, but I decided that the Glam Kitchen Gang needed a new, lit pasta dish. What exactly makes this “Rasta”, well because this dish is made with Jamaican jerk seasoning , coconut milk , fresh veggies and thyme which infuses soooooo much flavor. I’ve seen this dish on so many restaurant and chef IG pages and I decided to take a stab at it. As usual, let me know what you think and don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments! Enjoy !

  11. Hi can you tell me about how much jerk seasoning you’re using? I plan to make this tonight

  12. Hi, I don’t measure the seasoning but you can start with 1 tablespoon and sprinkle to adjust. Hope that helps

  13. Greetings,

    Is it possible to Substitute the Parmesan cheese for something else, for someone who doesn’t eat cheese?

  14. I wouldn’t substitute it with anything else sorry ❤️ I will definitely think of adding non cheese pasta sauces as one recipe in the future

  19. Hello!!! Happy Holidays! Is heavy whipping cream and whipping cream the same?

  22. This was my second dish from your list of recipes. I absolutely loved this. Family enjoyed this. I am going to order a cookbook. You really make me enjoy cooking again. Going to try the cornish hen next. The coconut milk gives this dish a great balance. I am so happy my son discovered your page. Keep up the good work

  23. Thank you so much I really appreciate that and I’m so happy that the family enjoyed and that you are enjoying cooking again

  47. Omgoodness, this is delicious!!! I’ve never had rasta pasta before but have always been interested in it. I followed your recipe (except I used spicy jerk seasoning) and made it with jerk BBQ chicken thighs and it’s so good….thanks for sharing.

  49. I made this tonight and despite the cheese clumping, it was a definite hit Tay.

  50. Yassssss glad you hear you enjoyed it ! And next time try using a whisk to get the lumps out or slowly add the cheese and stir versus adding it all at once – that should help❤️

  51. Haven’t made it yet. Was wondering what’s the difference in regular salt and the pink Himalayan salt?

  52. Made this last night and it was amazing! Wish I could leave a picture comment to show the finished dinner. Thank you so much for this recipe!

  54. Hi,

    I use pink salt because it contains more minerals like calcium potassium etc but it’s def a personal choice you can use what you have on hand
