Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use frozen shrimp as a substitute. Just make sure to thaw them thoroughly before cooking. You can do this by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or running them under cold water for a quicker thaw.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, you can use the microwave or gently warm it in a skillet. If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of olive oil or water to help moisten it.
If you don’t have a Knorr stock cube, you can substitute it with vegetable or chicken broth instead. If you prefer a lighter flavor, you can opt for low-sodium broth, or use the equivalent amount of salt and pepper to season the dish.
