Spaghetti with shrimp in cream sauce

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make spaghetti with shrimp in cream sauce? Prepare the products. My prawns are selected, unpeeled, freshly frozen. But any will do — both fresh and boiled-frozen. Cream for the sauce is better to take 20 percent. Spaghetti is made from durum wheat.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the shrimp under running water. While I was washing and cleaning them, they defrosted.

3. Step 3:

   

   Next, clean the shrimp from the shell, tails and intestinal veins. To remove the intestinal vein, it is necessary to cut the shrimp along the back and carefully remove the dark intestine with a knife. In the process, the shrimp finally thawed.

4. Step 4:

   

   Prepare the sauce, but before that put a pan of spaghetti water on the stove. Both sauce and pasta are cooked quickly, it is better to do it at the same time. Peel and finely chop the garlic.

5. Step 5:

   

   In a deep frying pan, heat the butter, put the garlic and lightly fry it over low heat for a few minutes.

6. Step 6:

   

   I have enough large shrimp, so I cut them into small pieces, if you have small ones, skip this step.

7. Step 7:

   

   Put the shrimp in the pan with the garlic.

9. Step 8:

   

   Fry them, stirring constantly. If you already have cooked shrimp, then fry quite a bit in time, just to warm them up. I fried for five minutes. No longer necessary, they can become rubbery.

10. Step 9:

    

    Meanwhile, the water will boil, throw spaghetti into it, add salt. Let them cook.

11. Step 10:

    

    Pour cream to the shrimp, add salt, pepper, mix well. Wait for them to boil, make the heat minimal and leave the sauce to simmer for five minutes.

12. Step 11:

    

    Wash, dry, and then chop the parsley. For spaghetti with shrimp, it is best suited, I would not recommend taking other greens. Set aside some of the greens for serving.

13. Step 12:

    

    Add the parsley to the sauce, stir, turn off the heat.

14. Step 13:

    

    Meanwhile, the spaghetti has already been cooked. It is not necessary to bring them to full boiling, let them remain a little hard, this state is called al dente. When combined with hot sauce, the pasta will come to readiness. I advise you to focus on the time indicated on the pasta package and cook spaghetti for a minute less. If the sauce is not ready yet, and the spaghetti is already cooked, throw them into a colander, leaving a little water in which they were cooked.

15. Step 14:

    

    Put the spaghetti in the pan with the sauce, mix well. If it seems that there is not enough sauce, add a little water in which the pasta was cooked. Leave them for a couple of minutes so that the pasta is soaked in the aroma of the sauce and comes to readiness. Serve the spaghetti on the table hot, sprinkled with parsley. Bon appetit!
