Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and chicken broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the sauce, and mix well.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined.
Serve the creamy garlic shrimp pasta garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.

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.
