Garlic Cream Pasta with Shrimp
This Garlic Cream Pasta with Shrimp is a luxurious yet simple dish that's bursting with flavor. Juicy shrimp are seasoned and sautéed in butter and olive oil, then removed to make way for a creamy garlic sauce. With rich heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and the same blend of spices from the shrimp, the sauce is both savory and satisfying. Fresh parsley brightens up the dish and a dash of pasta water helps the sauce cling to every bite. Finished with more cheese and herbs, it's a restaurant-quality meal you can make at home in minutes.
