How to Make Shrimp Sauce For Pasta

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 30 seconds to 1 minute), being careful not to brown.
  4. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  5. Stir in parsley, white wine, and reserved pasta water. Season generously with black pepper.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  7. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the shrimp sauce.
  8. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Serve immediately.
