Dump-and-Bake Creamy Shrimp Pasta

You don't even have to boil the pasta for this simple one dish meal -- Dump-and-Bake Creamy Shrimp Pasta! With just 10 minutes of prep, it's seriously the world's easiest weeknight dinner! When the temperatures drop and we start craving warm, cozy, comfort food, I struggle to find tasty ways to get seafood into our bodies. A grilled piece of fish just doesn't have the same appeal in late November! If you're looking for a restaurant-quality dish to serve in these cooler months that's also incredibly kid-friendly, then this Dump-and-Bake Creamy Shrimp Pasta is the answer! The meal is perfect for holiday get-togethers with family and friends, because it's easy to throw together, it tastes fancy, and it's a mild dish that everyone can enjoy. Trust me -- even if your kids claim to not like shellfish, this Creamy Shrimp Pasta is sure to change their minds! Best of all, you'll love how quickly it comes together thanks to my favorite dump-and-bake method. You don't have to spend extra time boiling pasta, sauteeing shrimp, or washing tons of pots and pans. Instead, you can just stir everything together in one dish and pop it in the oven! How's that for a warm, cozy, and comforting seafood supper?!

Notes*I used medium (41-50 count) shrimp, which cook quickly once you add them to the dish. Larger shrimp will likely require additional cooking time, so you will want to add them to the dish sooner.

Cooking for a Smaller Family? You can cut all of the ingredients in half and bake the shrimp pasta in an 8-inch square dish.
