-
Shrimp: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink.
-

🌟 Pro Tips for the Best Creamy Curry Pasta
💡 Use Freshly Grated Cheese – It melts better and adds a richer flavor.
💡 Don’t Overcook the Pasta – Al dente pasta holds up better in creamy sauces.
💡 For Extra Heat – Add chili flakes, a dash of cayenne, or fresh chopped chilies!
💡 For a Lighter Version – Use Greek yogurt or coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
🎉 Make this Mother’s Day special with a delicious, home-cooked meal made with love! 💕
