Notes
- Shrimp Cooking: Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough and rubbery. Cook just until they turn pink and opaque.
- Cream Sauce: For a richer sauce, you can add more Parmesan cheese. For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Pasta Alternatives: Feel free to use your favorite type of pasta, such as linguine, spaghetti, or penne.
- Add-Ins: You can add other ingredients to the pasta, such as spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or mushrooms, to make it more flavorful and nutritious.
- Make-Ahead: The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
- Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream if needed to loosen the sauce.
