This Quick Garlic Shrimp Pasta is a delightful and speedy dinner option that combines succulent shrimp with al dente pasta, all tossed in a flavorful garlic and olive oil sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish is ready in just 15 minutes!
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Next, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Once the shrimp are cooked, season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
Drain the pasta and reserve a cup of pasta water. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the shrimp.
Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce. Finally, garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
