Shrimp Garlic Noodles Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the linguine or spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the rest.

2. 2

   Sauté the Shrimp

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

3. 3

   Make the Creamy Sauce

   Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well and add the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.

4. 4

   Combine Everything

   Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy shrimp sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. If needed, add more reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
