These sound good and easy and you can use cooked shrimp-
SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP
TWO VERSIONS: WHITE OR RED

1# medium shrimp, cleaned thawed if they were frozen
1 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp elephant garlic chopped very fine
3 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
freshly ground pepper 6 oz chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp cornstarch
12 - 16 oz spaghetti
freshly grated parmesan cheese

VERSION ONE (WHITE): 1. Put pan of salted water on to boil, and start cooking spaghetti.
2. Mix chicken broth, cornstarch and balsamic vinegar and set aside.
3. Put garlic and oil in LARGE non stick frying pan and cook over medium heat until garlic is soft but not brown. Turn up heat to high and add shrimp, and stir until shrimp JUST turns pink. This takes only a couple of minutes. If you are using already cooked shrimp, put them in and immediately follow the next step. 4. Turn heat down to low and add parsley and pepper, and stir once or twice. Add chicken broth mixture and stir until it thickens. Remove from heat until spaghetti is done.
5. Drain spaghetti and toss with sauce mixture. serve, topped with plenty of freshly grated parmesan cheese. SERVES FOUR.

VERSION TWO (RED): Use fusilli (or rotini) in place of spaghetti 1. After sauce mixture thickens add 1/2 jar or can of your favorite chunky spaghetti sauce, stir and heat gently, then remove from heat until fusilli is done.
2. Toss with drained pasta and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Serve either version with a salad of mixed baby greens tossed with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a complete, delicious meal. A loaf of crusty bread on the side is good for "sopping up" any extra sauce, too!

Another recipe- when I use frozen, cooked shrimp I just add them near the end of the recipe .

Shrimp Spaghetti for Two
4 ounces thin spaghetti
1/2 cup butter
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
8 jumbo shrimp
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons grated Romano cheese

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. In skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add remaining ingredients, except cheese, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine shrimp mixture with spaghetti. Stir in cheese. If using smaller shrimp, add more than the amount specified.

the first one sounds good, but i don't think i can bring the balsamic vinegar, unless i can find a plastic bottle of it. anything i can possibly substitue for it?

Could you take some balsamic vinegar in a small plastic container, or does it have to be in the original bottle? And do you really wanna buy a whole bottle for one recipe?? LOL

Here is a substitute, but not sure it fits your needs:

BALSAMIC VINEGAR -- For 1 tablespoon, use 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar + ½ teaspoon sugar.

JJT

I wish I could bring a little bit unfortunetly everything has to be in the original sealed container - isn't that a pain in the neck. I use balsamic vineger on my salads so it wouldn't go to waste if i could find a plastic bottle.

If he likes a cream sauce what about making an Alfredo Sauce and then adding the shrimp at the end- really good !You could bring in small containers of cream, parmesan cheese and butter along with the spaghtetti and frozen shrimp. Or does he prefer something a little spicier?
