Follow these easy steps to create your Garlicky Calabrian Chili Pasta with Shrimp:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

1. Sauté Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Season lightly with salt and pepper and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

1. Add Garlic and Chili: Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and Calabrian chili paste to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, stirring often to avoid burning.

1. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained spaghetti directly into the skillet with the shrimp, garlic, and chili mixture. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

1. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or chili paste to suit your preference.

1. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.
