Instructions

In a large bowl with a lid, whisk together oil, cheese, garlic, sugar, and soy sauce. Add the shrimp and stir.

Place lid on the bowl and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Before removing shrimp from the refrigerator, cook pasta according to directions.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and marinade cooking until raw shrimp is pink or pre-cooked shrimp is heated, about three minutes.

Stir in pasta and gently toss; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately garnished with parmesan cheese.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Shrimp Thoroughly 💧
Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels before cooking to ensure a golden sear and prevent the sauce from becoming watery. Moisture is the enemy of a beautiful crust.
Cook Pasta Until Al Dente 🍝
Remove pasta 1-2 minutes before the package suggests, as it will continue cooking when tossed with the hot cream sauce. This prevents mushy, overcooked results.
Reserve Pasta Water for Sauce Magic 🌊
Save 1 cup of starchy pasta cooking water to adjust your cream sauce's consistency and help it cling to the noodles for better coating. This is a restaurant secret that transforms the dish.
Toast Garlic Separately for Depth 🧄
Sauté minced garlic in olive oil for 30-45 seconds until fragrant before adding other ingredients to develop deeper, more complex flavor without burning it.
Finish with Cold Butter for Silky Sauce ✨
Whisk cold butter into your sauce at the very end, off heat, to create an emulsified, luxurious texture that tastes restaurant-quality while keeping it stable.
