This garlic butter shrimp spaghetti features tender pasta tossed in a silky Parmesan garlic cream sauce, surrounded by juicy golden-seared shrimp, fresh parsley, and a touch of Italian seasoning. Simple, comforting, and dang delicious! 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 - 8 oz (225 g) spaghetti - 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined - 3 tbsp unsalted butter - 1 tbsp olive oil - 4 garlic cloves, minced - ¾ cup heavy cream - ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese - ½ cup reserved pasta water - 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice - ½ tsp Italian seasoning - ½ tsp paprika - ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional) - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped - Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 1. Cook the spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain. 2. Season the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. 3. Sear the shrimp: Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink, lightly golden, and opaque. Transfer to a plate. 4. Make the garlic butter: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, stirring so the garlic doesn't burn. 5. Build the creamy sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and optional red pepper flakes, stirring until smooth and creamy. 6. Toss the pasta: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss until every strand is coated in the glossy garlic Parmesan sauce. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the sauce reaches a silky consistency. 7. Bring back the shrimp: Return the shrimp to the skillet and gently toss with some of the sauce until heated through. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. 8. Plate it like the photo: Using tongs, twirl the creamy spaghetti into a tall, generous mound in the center of a large white plate. Arrange the golden-seared shrimp around the base, keeping their natural curled shapes visible. 9. Finish and serve: Spoon the remaining creamy garlic butter sauce over the shrimp and around the pasta. Sprinkle with extra parsley, Parmesan, and freshly cracked black pepper. Creamy, buttery, and ready to crush! 🔥 Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes Kcal: ~790 per serving | Servings: 2 generous servings
