Marry Me Shrimp Pasta is a delightful dish with a rich flavor and creamy, indulgent sauce, perfect for any occasion. This recipe makes any dinner feel special with succulent shrimp, al dente pasta, and aromatic herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine or linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water.
  2. Sauté Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Garlic: In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Bring to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  5. Season the Sauce: Stir in Italian seasoning, more salt, and pepper to taste, and then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Combine Pasta and Shrimp: Add the cooked pasta and shrimp back into the skillet, tossing to coat evenly. If necessary, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
  7. Final Touches: Adjust seasoning if needed and add lemon zest for brightness if using.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Adjust spice level by modifying red pepper flakes.
  • Feel free to use your favorite pasta shape.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or dill can enhance flavor.
  • Allow the pasta to rest for a few minutes for flavors to meld.
