Incredibly tasty and tender spaghetti with shrimp in creamy garlic sauce. The sauce and pasta are prepared separately and combined before serving, creating a rich taste and aroma. And, of course, the delicate creamy taste of the pasta complements the salty taste of grated Parmesan, which has become a classic addition to almost any Italian pasta. A pleasant addition to the dish is that spaghetti with shrimp is prepared as quickly and simply as possible; the entire cooking process will take no more than 20 minutes.
Compound:
- Spaghetti – 300 g
- Shrimp – 400 g
- Cream (20%) – 0.5 l
- Parmesan cheese – 50 g
- Garlic – 4 cloves
- Dried herbs (basil and oregano) - to taste
- Salt - to taste
Preparation:
Peel the garlic and cut each clove in half lengthwise. Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and add the garlic. You can use regular sunflower oil, olive oil, or a mixture of both. Fry the garlic in a frying pan until golden brown, and then remove it from the frying pan; the garlic has already given off its aroma to the oil and we no longer need it. Watch the garlic carefully so that it does not burn, otherwise our sauce will taste bitter.
Place pre-thawed shrimp in garlic oil and fry for 2-3 minutes if they are boiled-frozen, or for 7-8 minutes if they are raw. I used already peeled shrimp, but you can also use unpeeled shrimp by peeling them after frying.
The shrimp will release a lot of liquid during frying, leave this liquid in the pan and transfer the shrimp to a plate. Do not overcook the shrimp in the pan or they will become rubbery. Set the shrimp aside for a while, pour the cream into the pan and bring to a boil.
Add salt, pepper and spices to the boiled cream, and also add pre-cooked shrimp.
Stir the sauce and turn off immediately. While preparing the sauce, boil the pasta. To do this, pour water into a saucepan and boil it. When the water boils, add the pasta to the pan. Do not break the spaghetti, but place the whole thing in the pan, immersing only part of the pasta first, and when it softens, place the whole pasta in the water.
Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Place the finished pasta in the pan with the sauce and stir gently.
Shrimp pasta in creamy garlic sauce is ready, serve it hot, divide it into serving bowls and sprinkle with finely grated Parmesan cheese. Like any Italian pasta, spaghetti with shrimp is best served immediately after cooking, without heating, as heating deteriorates its taste.

The history of the creation of an original and delicious dish - pasta with shrimp in a creamy sauce - is surrounded by interesting legends, of which one is especially vividly remembered. An Italian, the owner of a small restaurant, did not know how to help his girlfriend, the light of life in whom was dying out right before her eyes.
Seeing how the strength was leaving his beloved, the man decided to prepare a surprise for her: he prepared the pasta and poured it with sauce, into which he put a reverent attitude and sincere love for this woman. The sauce contained cream, butter and cheese. And a miracle happened - the girl began to recover.
A little history
In Italy, pasta is a name for beautiful shaped pasta: fanfalle, spaghetti, fettuccine, etc.. Translated from Italian, “pasta” means “dough.” And from the dough you can make aromatic pastries, bread, and a large number of pasta of different shapes and sizes.
The Chinese were the first to invent pasta. Marco Polo, a famous traveler, was delighted with dishes using this product, and he brought it to Italy.
Italians serve pasta as a first course., followed by a hot dish, and different variations of its preparation are used. Lasagna, ravioli, salads - you can’t count all the dishes. But especially aromatic, tender and amazingly tasty is the pasta, which is given a special taste by shrimp in a creamy filling.
Set of products and tools for cooking
The most expensive ingredient is shrimp, so they need to be selected with special care. It’s better to overpay 40-50 rubles and buy cleaned seafood rather than waste time peeling shrimp from their shells. But in the absence of such, you can buy unpeeled frozen shrimp, the hard shell of which is easily removed after a short heat treatment.
The classic version uses olive oil, but it is not always possible to purchase an expensive product. An analogue can be any purified vegetable oil. It is better to choose larger garlic cloves- they are easier to clean and cut.
You can choose the pasta at your discretion— a variety of types of pasta make the choice much easier. Be sure to check the production time on the packaging of cream - the product must be fresh.
There are many variations in the preparation of this dish. To add special taste, additional ingredients are used, such as cheese, milk, chicken eggs, etc.
Running headlong around the kitchen in search of the necessary utensils, the housewife is distracted from the cooking process, and as a result, the contents of the pans “run out,” burn, or turn out undercooked. That's why need to be prepared in advance:
- 2 frying pans with a thick bottom (one of them is spacious, with high sides, the second is smaller) or a saucepan is used instead of the 1st frying pan;
- wooden spatula for stirring;
- well sharpened knife;
- garlic press;
- colander;
- cup;
- tablespoon and teaspoon;
- kitchen scales.
