3 cups uncooked pasta shells or bowties
1 lb (450 g) uncooked, jumbo peeled shrimp (defrosted, if frozen)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp Lemon Dilly or Herb & Garlic Dip Mix

1 can (6 oz/156 ml) tomato paste, about 1/2 cup

Instructions
In a large saucepan, cook pasta according to package instructions.
Season shrimp with salt and pepper, and dip mix, if using. Heat oil in Sauté Pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add shrimp; stir-fry until cooked through, 2–3 min. Place in a bowl; cover to keep warm.
Don’t wash sauté pan. Add milk; stir in sauce mix, tomato paste, and vodka, if using. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; simmer gently for 3 min, or until very thick.
Return noodles to pasta pot; add shrimp and sauce. Stir noodles, shrimp, and sauce until everything is evenly coated.

Tips
Like it spicy? Stir in 1–1 1⁄2 tsp Poco Picante Salsa Mix or chili flakes along with RosĂ©e Sauce Mix.
Reserve some pasta water when draining the pasta. If your sauce is too thick, gradually stir in the reserved pasta water, 1⁄4 cup at a time, to thin it out.
