Could you think of a better way to spend your evening than with a heaping serving of creamy pasta with all the fixings?
Creamy Garlic Shrimp is just that! Parmesan cheese coats everything in an even layer to add a sweet and nutty flavor to your entire dish. While the white wine sauce infused with garlic and butter boils down to a rich and aromatic flavor combination that blends perfectly together for a dinner you will be craving.
Make sure to bake extra for the rest of the week because once you have one bite, it’s game over for everything else laying in your fridge ready to be made. But don’t forget everything in the fridge. A homemade salad or garlic bread pairs well with the Creamy Garlic Shrimp.
You can’t have Creamy Garlic Shrimp without adding it to a bed of beautiful pasta to soak up all the goodness from the sauce. Any type of pasta works well and it is completely up to your preference in style. Whether you go with linguine or bow-tie; you can’t go wrong! Boil them to al dente to ensure they won’t keep cooking inside the warm pasta sauce. No one likes soggy carbs, do they?!
