Tips and Tricks

For best results, start with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for wild-caught shrimp, and use freshly grated Parmesan cheese if possible.

Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic to your taste. If you’re not a fan of garlic, you can reduce the amount or leave it out altogether.

If you want to make this dish ahead of time, you can prepare the sauce and cook the pasta and shrimp separately. Then, just toss everything together when you’re ready to serve.
