So I took Butters to a herding class.

Yes, you read that correctly.

A herding class. Of real life sheep.

No, wait.

He actually had to take the instinct test first.

To see if he could actually herd sheep.

And he totally passed.

So as a proud corgi mama in honor of his A+, I made this.

Shrimp boil in pasta form.

The creamiest pasta form, with my go-to garlic parmesan cream sauce.

Except I seasoned the crap out of it with Old Bay, garlic and thyme.

  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning, divided
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable broth, or more, as needed
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup corn kernels, frozen, canned or roasted
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage, and cook, stirring frequently, until sausage is lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes; set aside and drain excess fat.

  • Gradually whisk in vegetable broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, thyme and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning. Cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more vegetable broth as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Stir in pasta, sausage, shrimp and corn, and gently toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.
