    Pasta with Cuban-Creole Shrimp |mycolombianrecipes.comPin

    Today’s pasta recipe is a fusion of Italian and Latin American food that was inspired by a traditional Cuban dish called Camarones Enchilados. There are different variations of Camarones Enchilados, every family making their own recipe, but it’s usually made with shrimp cooked in a tomato sauce with onions, garlic, cilantro, cumin, oregano, green pepper, green olives, peas and hot sauce. It’s very simple, full of flavor and traditionally served over white rice. I used pasta instead of rice for this “Pasta with Cuban-Creole Shrimp” recipe to create this simple, comforting and flavorful blend of Italian and Latin cuisines.

    Pasta with Camarones EnchiladosPin

    Ragú® has a longstanding tradition of fresh taste since 1937. It’s an authentic Italian sauce with rich taste, aroma and texture because it’s made the traditional way. Instead of using shortcuts, Ragú® follows Assunta Cantisano's secret family recipe, slow-simmering vine-ripened tomatoes, garlic, and fragrant herbs. As per Ragu, there are no artificial flavors, colors or high fructose corn syrup.
