Creamy Garlic Shrimp Pasta

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

Creamy garlic shrimp pasta. This might become your favorite weeknight pasta. Easy to make but decadent enough for a date night. It’s ready in about 20 minutes, simple, indulging and comforting. Serve with a side salad and enjoy.

We give this sauce more dimension with Parmesan, Cheddar and cracked black pepper. Fresh parsley helps to brighten this pasta and lifts it up like none other.

We serve the shrimp atop al dente fettuccine, but this dish is equally great with zucchini noodles for a low-carb alternative. Serve with a simple side salad drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

    I now make this almost weekly. Add some extra oil and Sherry to create a great simple sauce over spaghetti sometimes.
