Ingredients

1/4 cup kosher salt
1 lb linguine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons creole seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup jalapeno, finely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking water
1 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, grated
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

Set a large 1-gallon stock pot of water to a boil and add the kosher salt. Place the linguine in the pot and stir the pot until the water returns to a boil. Cook the pasta until tender, but with a bit of resistance (al dente), about 12 minutes. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan. Once the butter has melted, season the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the creole seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and add the shrimp to the pan. Sear the shrimp until well browned on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the onions and jalapenos to the pan and saute until the onions are softened and lightly caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, remaining 1 tablespoon of creole seasoning, remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and the pepper to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce until the cream is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
Return the shrimp to the pan, and add the tomatoes, linguine and the reserved cooking water to the pan and cook, tossing to incorporate for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and add the Pepper Jack, Parmesan and basil and toss to blend. Serve immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lb baby shrimp (no shell)
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced &,divided
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons flour
1 package angel hair pasta

Steps:

While making the sauce, cook the pasta.
Put olive oil in sauce pan and let it heat up.
Then add 2 cloves of garlic and shrimp.
Saute for about 2 minutes.
Then add cream, chili powder, cayenne pepper, pepper flakes and salt.
Bring to a boil, and then put heat to medium high.
Combine milk and flour and mix well until there are no lumps.
Add into the sauce to thicken and let boil again.
Simmer for about 3-5 minutes, or until your pasta is done.

Tips:

Use fresh, succulent shrimp: Plump, vibrant shrimp will elevate the flavor of your pasta dish. Look for shrimp with a firm texture and a briny aroma.
Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's essential to keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery, compromising the texture of your dish.
Make sure your cream sauce is rich and flavorful: The cream sauce is the backbone of this pasta dish, so take the time to make it right. Use high-quality ingredients like heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, and season it generously with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
Don't be afraid to adjust the spiciness: The amount of chili flakes in this recipe can be adjusted to suit your personal preference. If you like things mild, start with a small amount and gradually add more until you reach your desired level of heat.
Garnish your pasta dish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or cilantro add a pop of color and flavor to your pasta dish. They also help to balance the richness of the cream sauce.

Conclusion:

This spicy shrimp pasta with cream sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
