Hi friends! Thank goodness we’re on the homestretch to the weekend! Woo-hoo! I don’t know about y’all, but I’m so ready. Even though this was a short week it was still too long. 🙂
So we’re keeping things short and easy and continuing our theme of easy weeknight meals. It doesn’t get much easier than shrimp and pasta!
We usually have this dish a few times a month because it’s so easy. Throw in a salad or a vegetable and you’re good to go! Actually, sometimes I just toss some fresh broccoli into a colander and pour the hot water – pasta and all – over it. It steams up just perfect and you have a complete meal!
Who doesn’t love an easy weeknight meal that can be put together with little effort? Sometimes we plan and sometimes I just send Chris a text asking what he wants to have for dinner. I have to admit that it’s much easier when we have planned ahead! Sooooo……
I want to remind you about my friend Raquel’s Guide to Meal Planning. Raquel is a blogger from My California Roots and she wrote an ebook Guide to Meal Planning. She gave me a copy to review (and I’m totally going to put it to good use) and I’m super excited about it.
The guide includes:
- Templates for meal planning
- Recipe Keeper Spreadsheet (which is awesome and helpful!)
- Meal Planning Toolkit
- A mini book on tips for creating the best meal plans ever
- Extra goodies!
The guide is just released this week and is only available until Friday. I honestly love this Guide to Meal Planning and would totally recommend it even if it wasn’t published by my friend! I am 100% confident that it will be a life-saver for anyone with a family to feed and for people who want to keep to a healthy diet – which is always easier when you have your meal plans in place so that you’re not hitting the drive-through on your way home from work because you didn’t plan.
I highly recommend you go check out Raquel’s Guide to Meal Planning. To do that, click here: Guide to Meal Planning

My son Sean is coming home for a few days to visit and I know what I’ll be making him Rachelle! He is going to LOVE this dish!
Welcome home, Sean! I hope he love it! 🙂
You had me at white wine, Rachelle! 😉 Love all the flavors you have going on here, pure simple deliciousness always hits the spot. Plus you really can’t beat something easy-peasy for weekday dinners, especially when you are terrible at planning like me! Guess I need your friends guide, huh? All I need is this dish and a loaf of crust bread. Heaven! Cheers, sweets! Xoxo
Booze is always the answer, Chey! 🙂 Easy-peasy-boozy only makes things better!
Look at you getting all fancy with the white wine and garlic sauce here! Is it ok if I drink some of that wine while I’m cooking? Because that just might have to happen…especially since it’s now Thirsty Thursday! Love this recipe, Rachelle! 🙂
Ha! That’s me. Fancy pants for sure! It’s not only ok to drink the wine while cooking – it’s encouraged. In fact, I’ll join you! Cheers! Thanks, David!
I could literally eat shrimp and pasta every day. I might weight 500 pounds but I’d be one happy camper. Cooking with wine is my jammy jam. A little in the food, a little in me, a little in the food, a little in me…
I just went to the store yesterday and have a pound of shrimp in the refrig so I think I’ll be making your yummy recipe tonight!
OMG! We are so on the same page, girl! Cooking with wine and a bit of sampling for me is totally my jammy jam too! I hope you love the shrimp! 🙂 Cheers!
Oh yes…shrimp and pasta. Such pretty words…such pretty food. I love everything about this meal – especially the addition of vino! Oh yeahhhh…
Vino = happiness! Thanks, Annie!
I love seafood and wine. Add in the Chardonnay and how can I say no? Yum.
Who could say no to chardonnay? 🙂
I love seafood pasta dishes and garlic + white wine is the perfect pairing for shrimp and pasta. This dish sounds so warm, comforting and delicious!
Thanks, Vineetha! I love me some seafood and garlic too! Wine always makes everything better! 🙂
I love the simplicity of this dish….and all the flavors! Garlic…wine…pasta….shrimp! Yum!!! Great tip on steaming broccoli. Will definitely do that from now on!
There is nothing better and easier than shrimp and pasta! White wine and garlic tossed with pasta and shrimp? Yes please!
Shrimp and pasta always makes me swoon. I am always ready for it. This is a wonderful quick and easy weekday dish, Rachelle!
Oh, this looks so delicious! I love simple, easy pasta dishes! And you can’t go wrong when cooking with wine. 😉
It sounds so easy and who wouldn’t love such an easy and luscious dish. I also like the idea with the broccoli. It always tastes better when you make it though. Just sayin.
🙂 Everything tastes better when someone else makes it! Bring me some baked steak and mashed potatoes!
