#### Instructions:
1. **Cook the Pasta:** Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. **Cook the Shrimp:** In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. **Make the Sauce:** In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and let it reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
4. **Add the Cream:** Lower the heat and add the heavy cream, stirring until combined. Let it simmer for a minute or two to thicken.
5. **Finish the Dish:** Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it to coat in the creamy sauce. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and a splash of the reserved pasta water to bring the sauce together.
6. **Combine Shrimp and Pasta:** Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine with the pasta. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7. **Serve:** Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
#### Why It’s Delish:
– **Buttery Garlic Flavor:** The garlic butter sauce is the star of this dish—rich, flavorful, and comforting, it coats the pasta and shrimp in the most delicious way possible.
– **Juicy Shrimp:** The shrimp are perfectly cooked—tender and flavorful with a slight sear.
– **Creamy Texture:** The heavy cream and parmesan cheese create a luscious, velvety sauce that elevates the entire dish.
– **Simple, Fresh Ingredients:** The recipe relies on simple, fresh ingredients that come together to make each bite better than the last.
### Conclusion: One Word—**Delish!**
Sometimes, words just can’t capture how good something tastes. A single “delish” can say it all. When you make a dish that balances flavor, texture, and satisfaction perfectly, that’s when you know it’s a true winner.
So, the next time you whip up a recipe like the Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta, and it leaves everyone at the table speechless (or perhaps, just saying “delish!”), you’ll know you’ve created something truly special.
Because in the end, sometimes all you need is one word to describe a meal: **Delish!**
