Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the shrimp with another protein?

Yes, you can substitute shrimp with chicken, tofu, or even scallops. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly; for chicken, ensure it is cooked through, and for tofu, toss until heated.

How should I store leftover Garlic and Piri Piri Shrimp Pasta?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out.

What can I use if I don’t have Piri Piri sauce or Tabasco sauce?

If you don’t have Piri Piri or Tabasco sauce, you can use sriracha, red pepper flakes, or any hot sauce of your choice to add heat to the shrimp marinade.
