How to Make Shrimp And Pasta In A Basil Cream Sauce
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
- If using, add white wine to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
- Stir in heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce slightly thickens.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water if needed to thin the sauce.
- Stir in most of the basil leaves, reserving some for garnish.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately, garnished with remaining basil leaves and extra Parmesan cheese (optional).
