Sastojci

8 ounces linguine pasta (or pasta of choice)

1 pound large raw shrimp (peeled, and deveined shrimp)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cajun or old bay seasoning

½ teaspoon EACH garlic powder, Italian seasoning (or oregano), salt, pepper

2 tablespoons butter

4-5 cloves garlic (minced)

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup parmesan (grated)

Upute

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente (about 10 minutes). Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water then drain pasta.

While the pasta is cooking, combine the shrimp, olive oil, and seasoning in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute per side or until the shrimp is charred. Remove shrimp from the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the garlic and cook the garlic for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Pour in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and reserved pasta water. Stir until parmesan has melted through and sauce has loosened. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

Toss in the cooked pasta until fully coated with the sauce. Top with the shrimp and gently toss to combine. Garnish with fresh chopped presley, more parmesan, or red pepper flakes. Serve immediately!
