Ok I have bowtie pasta and some small cooked frozen shrimp. What is something I could make, preferrably a warm dish. Ive looked up recipes sites and getting no ideas I like.

Please nothing overly Italian-ish. Maybe something with a light sauce, or olive oil and seasonings? I would serve it with garlic bread I think. Thanks for suggestions!

    Just substitute your cooked shrimp and cook only until they are heated through.

    I would just toss with olive oil, red crushed pepper, and fresh minced garlic.

    Boil the pasta and drain, add defrosted shrimp if they are shelled and cooked, otherwise do that as the pasta is cooking.
    Stir together with some Sweet Soy Sauce or Sweet Chili Sauce.

    Try thinning some cream cheese with milk adding some salt, pepper and your favorite seasonings. For my tastes I’d add thyme, some frozen peas & the shrimp to the pasta just as it is finished cooking for a minute or so and a few squeezes of fresh lemon juice. Quick, easy and creamy. A dash of cayenne and/ or seafood seasoning would be nice as well as some Italian parsley or scallions.

    Saute a couple of finely chopped shallots & a couple of cloves of minced garlic in 3-4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil until softened. Add a dice of one seeded Roma tomato and the thawed shrimp until they are heated through. Remove from heat and add some fresh basil leaves that are cut into thin strips. If you are using dried basil, use one teaspoon and add it when you saute shallots. You can use 1/4 of sweet white onion instead of shallots. Season with salt and pepper & grated Parmesan.

    Bon Appetit!

    Boil up the pasta.
    defrost the shrimp.
    zap some broccoli florets in the microwave.
    make a light sauce with olive oil, butter, shallot or garlic, white wine, tiny pinch of hot pepper flakes, and parsley in a large pan.
    Add the above 3 ingredients and toss to coat and heat through. Add a little parmesan if you like.

    I’m surprised no one mentioned a nice Alfredo sauce – homemade, naturally – very easy to make – and your bow tie pasta and the shrimp would be perfect in it. All you need is the pasta, shrimp, cream, butter, garlic powder, some white pepper and Parmesan cheese. Simple and yet delicious! Melt your butter, add the cream and garlic powder and pepper and stir until all mixed together. Then add your barely cooked pasta and shrimp – just to heat them up – and then add the parmesan and stir together. The parmesan will thicken it and it will be good to go!
