Equipment

  • 1 large sauce pot
  • 1 large boiling pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb bowtie pasta
  • 1 lb fresh Gulf shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 16 oz Dean's French onion dip
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Campbell’s French onion soup
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp Badia Complete seasoning
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley
  • Water for boiling pasta

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Pasta:
    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the bowtie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Sauté the Shrimp:
    While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the butter. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Badia Complete seasoning.Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked (about 3–4 minutes).
  • Create the Sauce:
    Once the shrimp are cooked, lower the heat to medium-low.Stir in the French onion dip, Campbell's French onion soup, and heavy cream.Add the dried parsley and stir until combined.
  • Simmer the Sauce:
    Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This lets the flavors meld together into a rich and creamy consistency.
  • Combine Pasta and Sauce:
    Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the pot with the sauce and shrimp. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional) and serve warm. Pair it with a crisp green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
