A glossy garlic butter shrimp pasta tossed with lemon, white wine, and parmesan. Creamy, garlicky, and ready in minutes — the perfect weeknight indulgence!
There’s something magical about garlic, butter, and shrimp — a trio that turns simple pasta into a restaurant-worthy meal in under 30 minutes! 🕒 This Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta combines golden seared shrimp with a glossy, garlicky sauce laced with lemon, white wine, and parmesan for the ultimate weeknight indulgence.
The magic begins with a sizzling pan of garlic and butter, where shrimp are kissed with paprika, ginger, and chili flakes for that subtle warmth. Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine or chicken broth, then let the sauce thicken slightly before tossing in perfectly al dente pasta.
The result? A silky, aromatic sauce that coats every strand — balanced by lemon juice and sprinkled with fresh parsley and parmesan for a bright, creamy finish. 🌿🧀
Serve this shrimp pasta with a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio, or pair it with garlic bread and a simple green salad for a complete meal.
Whether you’re cooking for two or making a quick weeknight dinner, this Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta promises comfort, flavour, and elegance in every twirl of the fork. 🍝💛

Use fresh shrimp for the juiciest result — pan-sear with shells on for extra flavor.
Swap white wine for chicken broth or cream for a milder, richer sauce.
Finish with lemon juice for brightness and balance.

Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, then reserve a little pasta water.
In a hot pan, sear shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, ginger, and paprika for 1–2 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
Pour in white wine (or broth/cream) and simmer for 1–2 minutes.
Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce, add shrimp back in, and squeeze lemon juice over.
Sprinkle parsley and parmesan, then serve immediately while hot.
