Creating Marry Me Shrimp Pasta is simple and rewarding. Just follow these steps for a delicious meal:
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes, reducing slightly.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Pasta and Shrimp: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, then add the drained pasta. Gently toss until everything is well coated in the sauce.
- Garnish: Remove from heat, and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
- Serve Immediately: Plate the pasta and shrimp, making sure to drizzle some extra sauce over the top if desired.
