Cooking Instructions

1

Cook the Capellini

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the capellini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

Prepare the Bianco Sauce

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Add Shrimp & Wine

Add the jumbo shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

4

Finish the Sauce

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.

5

Combine with Crab and Pasta

Gently fold in the jumbo lump crab meat and cooked capellini into the sauce, ensuring everything is well coated.

6

Serve

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
