Pasta with Shrimp and Jalapeño Cheese Sauce

If you are normally not fond of cooking or don’t have much time to whip up something delicious in the kitchen, you can trust me when I say that this recipe will not only surprise, but you will actually enjoy the time spent preparing it. This is a recipe that is very easy to make and doesn’t have many ingredients, but is very tasty thanks to ingredients like shrimp, jalapeño, Cacique Queso Oaxaca, and the softness the Cacique Crema Mexicana brings to the mix. You will create a perfectly delicious pasta for any occasion.

If you don’t care for seafood, you can substitute the shrimp for grilled chicken strips or chunks, or if you prefer to go vegetarian, some vegetables like zucchini will work too.
