Marry Me Chicken Pasta with Shrimp

Marry Me Chicken Pasta with Shrimp

You may or may not be familiar with the viral "Marry Me Chicken" but I have been seeing it everywhere and knew I wanted to put my own twist on it. I love chicken pasta but I also love shrimp so I decided to amp up the protein (and deliciousness) even more by using both! This meal is the perfect Valentine's Day meal for you and your beau, family or galentines.
