The Shrimp Shack Pasta was my favorite menu item at Bubba Gumps Shrimp Co. Since it was removed from the menu I have been trying to find a way to recreate it. I think I have finally come close, if you don’t enjoy shrimp it is easy to cut it out. When storing the leftovers I would recommend storing the shrimp and pasta separately.

  • 1.5 lb Fresh Shrimp
