Method
Preparation
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, then season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove them from the pot and set aside.
- In that same pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being cautious to avoid burning the garlic.
Cooking
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the Italian seasoning and season it to your liking with salt and pepper.
- Add the drained pasta to the pot and toss everything together. Allow it to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Finally, return the cooked shrimp to the pot and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to ensure everything is well-coated with the creamy sauce.
Serving
- Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh lemon wedges, if desired.

Notes
For an extra kick, try adding a splash of lemon juice or zest just before serving to brighten the flavors. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. Consider pairing it with a crisp green salad or garlic bread for a complete dining experience.
