Here's a recipe that’s a crowd-pleaser: **Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta.** It's easy,
flavorful, and perfect for a quick yet impressive meal.

### **Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta**


#### **Ingredients:**
- 8 oz fettuccine or spaghetti pasta
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tbsp butter (divided)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth for non-alcoholic option)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of spice)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional)

#### **Instructions:**

1. **Cook the pasta**:


- Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook the pasta according to package
instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, saving a cup of pasta water for
later.

2. **Cook the shrimp**:


- While the pasta is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet
over medium heat.
- Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink
and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

3. **Make the garlic butter sauce**:


- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and melt it
over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the wine (or broth) and let it reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

4. **Creamy sauce**:
- Reduce the heat to low, and add the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan
cheese and let it melt into the sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper
flakes (if using).

5. **Combine**:
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the creamy
garlic sauce, adding some of the reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.
- Add the shrimp back to the skillet and toss everything together.

6. **Serve**:
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side for a burst
of freshness.

### **Enjoy!**
This dish is rich, creamy, and full of flavor, with the garlic butter shrimp
elevating the pasta to the next level. It's perfect for a date night or just a cozy
meal at home.
