Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

It’s best to thaw the frozen shrimp overnight in the refrigerator. Heat the olive oil in a pan. Briefly fry the shrimp on both sides over medium heat. At the same time, bring a pot of water for the pasta to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the pasta. Cook according to the package instructions until “al dente.” Wash the spring onions, trim the roots, thinly slice the remaining stalk, and add to the pan with the shrimp. Add the cream, milk, and orange juice one at a time. In a small container, mix the cornstarch with a little water until smooth. Add to the sauce and bring to a boil briefly. Add the saffron. Serve the pasta with the shrimp sauce. Tip: Instead of the shrimp, cut the smoked salmon into strips and add it shortly before the end of the cooking time.
