Creamy Shrimp Pasta

This truly restaurant-style dish is surprisingly easy to make at home. The pasta absorbs a rich, creamy garlic sauce and pairs perfectly with tender shrimp, creating a simple yet elegant meal 

Ingredients

• 300 g frozen shrimp

4. Sauté the shrimp in butter for 1–2 minutes on each side until cooked, season with salt and pepper, then set aside

5. In the same pan, add vegetable oil and onion, cook until golden

6. Add garlic and cook for another couple of minutes

7. Pour in the white wine and let it reduce (2–3 minutes)

8. Add cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and simmer on low heat until slightly thickened (3–5 minutes)

9. Add Parmesan and mix well

10. Add pasta and shrimp to the sauce and toss together
