Description

A comforting and indulgent creamy pasta dish featuring succulent shrimp, garlic, and parmesan cheese.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce until well coated.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For creamy texture, consider adding a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
