PASTA AND ASSEMBLY
3
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the rotini pasta. Cook as instructed on the box or until al dente. During the last 3 minutes of the pasta cooking, add the halved cherry tomatoes into the boiling water to soften them and release some juices.
4
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and sauté each side for 2 to 3 minutes until pink and slightly golden. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
5
Drain cooked pasta and tomatoes and return to large pot. Combine pasta, tomatoes and Avocado-Cilantro Sauce. Mix thoroughly until pasta is well coated with Avocado-Cilantro Sauce.
6
Add the sautéed shrimp to pasta mixture and give a final gentle mix. Serve ingredients warm in individual bowls. Enjoy your Zesty Shrimp Rotini Pasta with Avocado-Cilantro Sauce!
