Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can whip up this dish in no time:
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the shrimp, seasoning them with salt and pepper, and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the lemon juice, then return the shrimp to the skillet. Stir to coat the shrimp in the creamy sauce.
- Toss in the cooked pasta, mixing until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Cooking tip: Don’t rush the garlic—it’s the heart of this dish. Let it mellow and infuse the butter for that irresistible aroma that fills your kitchen.
