Shrimp Pasta Primavera with Seasonal Vegetables

Shrimp Pasta Primavera with colorful vegetables is a fresh and light seafood and veggie pasta that is perfect for Spring! This healthy take on shrimp pasta is easy to make and everyone will enjoy!

When the weather starts to get a little warmer I always get the itch for lighter, more colorful dishes. That’s why, I traded in spaghetti and meat sauce for this Shrimp Pasta Primavera. “Pasta Primavera” translates to pasta served with fresh mixed vegetables. This dish is usually packed with seasonal vegetables including zucchini, broccoli and tomatoes.

They should really call Pasta Primavera “everything but the kitchen sink pasta” because you can essentially incorporate any veggies you have on hand. It’s a great way to clean out the refrigerator! Because it’s finally spring (for some of us), I decided to switch it up a little and include fresh corn, bell pepper and asparagus. Fresh corn gives the pasta a bright, sweet note while the bell pepper offers a little crunch.

I also added shrimp because Austin and I are big seafood eaters (we live in Florida) and I think it pairs perfectly! You can leave the shrimp out completely or serve this pasta with chicken or steak if you prefer. It’s very versatile.

I love this recipe because it is so light and fresh but there is a hint of cream and white wine to warm it up. If you prefer not to cook with wine, don’t worry. Just substitute the wine with additional chicken broth.
