Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Pasta
  • 8 oz pasta linguine or fettuccine
  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain it and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until it becomes fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Once done, remove the shrimp and set them aside.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
  5. Step 5: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. This step is key for bringing out all those delicious flavors!
  6. Step 6: Add the cooked pasta and shrimp back into the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure it is well coated with the creamy sauce.
  7. Step 7: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for that extra touch of freshness.

Notes

To store leftovers, place the pasta in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will last for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or water to loosen the sauce.
