Instructions

1. – Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. – In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the garlic is fragrant.

3. – Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

4. – Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, parmesan, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. – Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat everything evenly in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. – Serve the Marry Me Shrimp Pasta immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

– For a lighter version, use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream.

– Add a splash of dry white wine or chicken broth to thin out the sauce if it gets too thick.

– Garnish with additional parmesan cheese, lemon wedges, or fresh herbs.
