Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 12 ounces of dried spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes. Reserve at least ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound of deveined and peeled shrimp with 2 teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning and 1½ tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Gently toss until the shrimp are evenly coated. Let marinate for about 5 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the marinated shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until pink. Remove shrimp and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, add ¼ cup finely minced shallots and cook until translucent. Add ½ tablespoon minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in ¼ cup dry white wine, scraping the skillet to deglaze. Allow to simmer until about 1 tablespoon of liquid remains.
- Add ½ cup heavy cream, ½ cup parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon Old Bay, stirring until the cheese melts to create a sauce.
- Return shrimp to the skillet, add ¼ cup chopped parsley, and toss with cooked spaghetti, ensuring each strand is coated.
- Adjust sauce consistency with reserved pasta water as needed and season with Old Bay, salt, or black pepper.
- Plate your Old Bay Garlic Shrimp Pasta, garnishing with extra parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze for longer storage, but separate shrimp from pasta for best results.
