Question by Jesse: Substituting shrimp in a vegetarian recipe?
I’m making a pasta with a creamy tomato sauce and the recipe calls for shrimp but I’m a vegetarian. I’m making it for other people (but I’d like to eat it too), is there something I can replace the shrimp with that will add to the flavor so it’s not missing something?

Sun dried tomatoes softened, mildly flavored mushrooms with lemon, seafood seasoning like Old Bay, tofu ( which is not everyone’s favorite) Arugula or broccoli. If you just make and serve a dish you enjoy your guests probably will too. If they never knew it was supposed to be a shrimp dish and they enjoy it . That is the whole point. If you eat cheese there is a world of cheeses and herbs that go well with a creamy tomatoe sauce. A nice green salad with an acidic ( vinegar. lemon juice etc.)salad dressing would go very nicely to balance things out on the plate.
tofu, mushrooms, green beans
Use mushrooms. Choose a flavorful type like chestnut mushrooms, then saute them before adding them to the recipe. You can saute some chopped onion with them too. The mushroom and onion will give lots of flavor. You might also like to serve a simple green salad on the side.
Next time you could try something like a vegetarian lasagna:

If you want to add a contrasting color to your pasta recipe, you might like to add some green beans or peas along with the mushrooms (or instead) and perhaps serve parmesan on the side so people can add their own.
