Warm and comforting, this shrimp and broccoli pasta is bursting with flavor and is fast and easy to prepare. The peanut butter sauce is out of this world good and has just the right amount of kick - you'd never guess it's good for you too!
Ingredients
- 8oz cooked whole wheat pasta (I used spaghetti)
- 1lb cooked shrimp
- 10oz cooked broccoli (chopped)
Sauce
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more if you like spicy)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| In a small sauce pan over low heat stir together peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic powder, cayenne, and sugar until smooth and heated through. Add water as needed to thin out the sauce to desired consistency. Pour over cooked shrimp, broccoli and pasta. Serve hot. | |
I would like to take a moment to thank all of you who took the time to send me messages, emails and comments, and for all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers offered up for my family after losing my grandpa last week. It truly meant so much to me!! Thank you!

Marina Cortes says
This looks great and I will definitely try making it!
I calculated the amount of calories for a one serving (1tbsp. light PB & 2grams sugar with 79grams of whole wheat pasta) and it turned out to be around 500 calories, so this can be light if a small portion is consumed and I will for sure eat it on days I workout and can afford that many calories.

Stephanie,
This looks delish! I would have to change out the shrimp of course (I don’t eat fish of ANY kind, lol) but I bet it would be just as yummy with chicken 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday. Can’t wait to see what you share next week! Have a wonderful weekend.

sally @ sallys baking addiction says
there’s this quaint little thai place right up the street from my apartment and I always get their spicy shrimp pasta with peanut sauce. We don’t go there often, but when we do – I like to splurge on it. I’d love to make a version at home, a healthier one at that – and this is the perfect recipe to replicate my favorite dish. Thank you for sharing my friend! 🙂 Happy New Year!
Stephanie says
That sounds delish! I hope you try and enjoy this skinny version 🙂
Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. With the passing of my grandfather I sort of disappeared from blogging for awhile to spend time with my family. I haven’t forgotten you, friend!
Tanya Schroeder says
Love light dinners that my whole family will enjoy! Thanks Stephanie!
Stephanie says
Hope you enjoy it, Tanya!
