How to Make Spaghetti Shrimp Platter

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the spaghetti cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  3. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  5. Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
