Cooking options

We offer such options and recommendations for the preparation of pasta with shrimp:

• To prepare this dish, it is recommended to take tiger or Argentine shrimps, the main thing is that they be large. But you can also cook with smaller ones.
• From cheeses, it is better to take mozzarella or parmesan, since these species are best combined with shrimp, a very delicate taste is obtained. But if you wish, you can try with other types of cheeses.
• Macaroni is better to take large, with a large cavity inside (manicotti or canelloni). Then they are well absorbed by the sauce. But regular pasta, noodles and spaghetti are also suitable.
• From seasonings, you can take ordinary pepper if there is no lemon. Chili can also be added ground rather than in cereal.
