Creamy Shrimp Bowties with Cilantro

Heat water to boiling in large pot, add pasta. Cook as directed; drain.

While pasta is cooking, heat oil over medium heat in large saute pan; add garlic and cook 2-3 minutes. Add shrimp, cook just a few minutes; turn. Don’t worry if it’s not completely cooked as it will finish cooking with the rest of the cooking time.

Add red pepper flakes to taste (a couple of shakes is good), ground cumin, and black pepper. Grate lime zest over shrimp; squeeze the lime juice over shrimp. Mix well. Simmer a minute or two.

Add cilantro, tomato and cream. Bring to boil and reduce slightly until sauce thickens a bit.

Place pasta on a large platter or pasta bowl; pour sauce with shrimp over pasta. Top with more ground pepper and freshely shredded Parmesan.
