Here’s our take on Gigi Hadid’s famous Spicy Vodka Pasta. We’ve turned down the heat for you for a kid-friendly dish, but check out the Tip if you don’t mind a little bite. Choose any size shrimp you want—fresh or frozen works. We’re all about those jumbo ones: they’re succulent and fork-friendly. Or, swap shrimp for your favourite seafood, like clams or mussels.
Ingredients
- 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 tbsp oil
- 1 1⁄2 cups milk, your choice
- 1 pkg Rosée Sauce Mix or Alfredo Sauce Mix
- 1 can (6 oz/156 ml) tomato paste, about 1/2 cup
- 3 tbsp vodka, optional
Preparation
- 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.
- Spoon into bowls; add toppings, if desired.

Tips
Like it spicy? Stir in 1–1 1⁄2 tsp Poco Picante Salsa Mix or chili flakes along with Rosée 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.
