✨ Ingredients:

  • 8 oz fettuccine or spaghetti pasta
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

🍳 Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water, and set aside.

2. Prepare the Shrimp

Season shrimp with salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil.
Cook shrimp for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and golden. Remove and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

Lower heat to medium.
Melt butter in the same skillet, then add minced garlic.
Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Build the Creamy Sauce

Add chicken broth, stirring to scrape up browned bits.
Stir in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, then add Parmesan cheese.
Whisk until smooth and creamy.

5. Combine Everything

Return shrimp to the skillet, then toss in cooked pasta.
Mix until well coated.
Add pasta water a splash at a time if sauce needs thinning.

6. Serve and Garnish

Top with parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy the buttery, garlicky goodness!
