Notes

Add spinach, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes for extra vegetables.

Use chicken or tofu instead of shrimp for protein variation.

Adjust jerk seasoning to modify spice level.

Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for dairy-free version.

Use penne, linguine, or gluten-free pasta as preferred.
