Creamy Garlic Shrimp Pasta

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling generously salted water. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
2. Combine the shrimp with the spices. Toss and set aside while you mince the garlic and chop the parsley.
3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and the butter in a large skillet. Place the shrimp in a single layer, sear for 1 minute. Flip and sear the other side, 1 minute. Remove from skillet.
4. In the same skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes over low heat, until soft and fragrant. Pour in milk, bring to a simmer. Stir in mustard, parsley, salt and black pepper.
5. Add pasta, and toss to coat the noodles. Turn off the heat. Stir in the cheese, and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Stir until combined. Add extra pasta water, stir until creamy (add more pasta water if needed). Return shrimp back to the skillet, toss until combined. Taste, add more salt and pepper if needed.
6. Divide pasta among bowls, top with chili flakes and serve right away. Enjoy!
