Pasta with French Green Beans and Shrimp

A delicious pasta with Haricots verts and prawns. It's a flavorful pasta dish that gets its depth and character from a rich base of tomato puree, a touch of heat from cayenne pepper, and a creamy finish from both crème fraiche and sour cream, balanced with a sweet note from the honey.
