My Salmon Rasta Pasta Recipe is currently one of my top viewed blog recipes, and I thought it would make sense to share another delicious seafood Rasta Pasta-Jamaican Shrimp Rasta Pasta!
What exactly is Rasta Pasta? Well I first found out about it because local restaurants and Instagram chefs were making it years ago, so this is my spin on it. My first Rasta pasta recipe was made about 2 years ago but this is my Shrimp version
This dish is easy to make and absolutely delicious !
Glam Kitchen Tips
– Do not use regular chicken broth (it’s high in sodium ) , use a low or no sodium chicken broth instead
– Fresh garlic really sets off this dish but if you don’t have it on hand , the jar minced garlic is fine
– Clean your shrimp with lemon juice and cold water before seasoning them
