Garlic Shrimp Pasta: Every Bite Coated in Sauce, So Flavorful You’ll Lick the Plate
Craving rich, creamy pasta for breakfast or dinner but dreading teary garlic chopping and long prep? The Geedel 4-in-1 Chopper cuts through the hassle—have this garlic shrimp pasta ready in 12 minutes. Juicy shrimp, al dente pasta slathered in golden garlic sauce, and perfectly minced garlic (no more stinging eyes!)—you’ll be reaching for seconds.
Ingredients (2 servings)
· 100g thin spaghetti (cooks fast!)
· 12 shelled, deveined shrimp (butterflied for extra flavor)
· 6 garlic cloves, 4 cherry tomatoes
· 1 small cube butter, 1 tbsp olive oil
· Parsley flakes (or chives), salt, black pepper
How to Make It
1. Cook pasta: Boil salted water (it bubbles gently and lively), add the spaghetti, and cook for 8 minutes. Save 1 tablespoon of pasta water—sauce glue—before draining.
2. 1-minute prep with Geedel: When prepping garlic and cherry tomatoes, I always reach for that fullstar vegetables chopper. Swap to the dicing blade, press 3 times to chop the garlic (no more teary eyes—this chopper vegetable cutter is so convenient!), and press twice for the cherry tomatoes (it locks all the juices in, so you don’t have them dripping everywhere).
3. Sauté sauce: Melt butter until it shimmers, then fry the garlic until golden (the aroma hits you right away!). Toss in the shrimp and cook until they’re fully pink. Add the tomatoes (let them sizzle for 30 seconds!), then stir in the reserved pasta water, salt, and pepper. If you want to add bell peppers or potatoes, it’s super easy to chop them with a vegetable chopper with container—it chops them up and holds them right in the container, so you can pour them into the pan without spilling.
4. Toss & serve: Mix the cooked pasta into the sauce until every strand is coated. Top with parsley—done! Want a sprinkle of finely chopped parsley? Just grab the food slicer and chopper and give it a couple of presses. It gives perfect little flakes, way faster than chopping with a knife.
Geedel Win
No more peeling/chopping garlic by hand, and tomatoes stay intact (not mushy). Cleanup takes 30 secs—just rinse the chopper parts or pop them in the dishwasher!
