Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min

Ingredients

• 300–400 g pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or your favorite)

• 300–400 g shrimp, peeled & deveined

• 4–6 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp butter

• Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

---

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta

   • Boil a large pot of water, add salt, then cook the pasta until al dente.

   • Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water before draining (this helps later with the sauce).

2. Prepare the shrimp

   • Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel (this helps them sear nicely).

   • Season lightly with salt and pepper.

3. Make the garlic sauce

   • Heat a pan over medium heat. Add olive oil + butter.

   • When the butter melts, add the minced garlic, and sauté until it's fragrant (but don’t burn it).

   • Optional: add red pepper flakes here if you want heat.

4. Cook the shrimp

   • Add the shrimp to the pan with garlic.

   • Cook ~2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.

5. Combine pasta and sauce

   • Add the cooked pasta into the pan.

   • Pour in some of the reserved pasta water to help make a silky sauce and help everything cling together.

   • Toss well so pasta gets coated in garlic butter and shrimp flavor.

6. Finish & serve

   • Squeeze in the lemon juice, and add the lemon zest if using.

   • Taste and adjust salt / pepper.

   • Turn off heat, then stir in chopped parsley.

   • Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese (if you like).

💡 Variations to Try

• Creamy Garlic Shrimp Pasta: Use heavy cream or whipping cream + chicken (or vegetable) broth + parmesan to make a rich, creamy sauce. Gourmet Martha+1

• Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta: Add more lemon zest and juice for a bright, tangy flavor. Sip and Feast

🔪 Tips for Best Results

• Don’t overcook the shrimp — they cook very quickly and get rubbery if left too long.

• Reserve pasta water! It’s magic for making sauce silky and binding everything.

• Use fresh garlic — it’s far more aromatic than garlic powder.

• If your sauce is too thick, loosen it with more pasta water; if too thin, reduce the heat a little to evaporate.
