Recipes:
Spicy Garlic Shrimp Pasta
Ingredients
For the Pasta:
12 oz spaghetti or linguine
Salt for boiling water
For the Shrimp:
1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Sauce:
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1/2 cup chicken or seafood broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp butter
Garnish:
Fresh parsley (chopped)
Additional Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Sauté the Shrimp:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Toss in the shrimp, season with chili flakes, salt, and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add white wine (if using) and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to deglaze the pan.
Stir in broth, heavy cream, and butter. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then add Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth.
Combine:
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. If needed, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to adjust consistency.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together.
Serve:
Plate the pasta and shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
This spicy garlic shrimp pasta is a perfect balance of heat, creaminess, and garlicky goodness. A quick and flavorful dish for pasta lovers!
