Ingredients:

12 oz linguini pasta
1 lb shrimp (peeled & deveined)
2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:

Boil a pot of salted water and cook the linguini according to the package directions. Drain and set it aside.

2. Prep the Shrimp:

In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, then set aside.

3. Make the Sauce:

In the same skillet, add another tbsp of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in the heavy cream, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until it’s all melty and creamy!

4. Combine & Bake:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix the cooked pasta and shrimp with the cheesy sauce, then transfer everything to a baking dish. Sprinkle more cheese on top if you’re feeling fancy! Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and bubbly.

5. Garnish & Serve:

Take it out of the oven, sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if you want that kick), and fresh parsley for a pop of color. Boom, you’re done!

Tips:

You can swap shrimp for chicken if you’re feeling it!
Add a side of garlic bread to make it extra awesome
