The Secret To Make A Delicious Creamy Shrimp Pasta Recipe | DINNER in 15 MINUTES Your go-to shrimp pasta: plump shrimp, a silky cream-tomato sauce with cherry and sun-dried tomatoes, fresh parsley, and plenty of Parmesan. The win: quick sear on shrimp + proper emulsification with starchy pasta water. Workflow (concise): 1. Pat shrimp dry; season with salt, pepper, a pinch of chili, and grated garlic. Sear in olive + butter 40–60 sec per side, remove to a plate. 2. In the same pan, sauté onion to golden, add 2 garlic cloves and parsley, then cherry + sun-dried tomatoes. Season, add 1 tsp sugar and juice of ½ lemon; cook until tomatoes soften. 3. Pour in cream, simmer gently 2–3 min. Meanwhile, boil spaghetti 1 minute shy of package in well-salted water. 4. Transfer pasta to the pan, add pasta water in splashes to reach a glossy, creamy consistency; fold in Parmesan to emulsify. Return the shrimp, add lemon zest, warm through 30–40 sec. 5. Plate the pasta, top with shrimp, finish with more Parmesan and black pepper. Expect velvety sauce, bright tomato notes, citrus aroma, and juicy shrimp in every bite. Why it works: restaurant-level payoff in 20–25 minutes; repeatable technique; crowd-pleaser for weeknights or guests. Pro tips: Don’t overcook shrimp — they’ll turn rubbery. Add pasta water gradually for perfect viscosity. Balance acidity with lemon + a touch of sugar. Salt thoughtfully (cheese and sun-dried tomatoes add salinity).
