Spaghetti with shrimps in sour cream sauce

4 servings

30 minutes

Spaghetti with shrimp in creamy sauce is a refined dish of Italian cuisine that combines the tenderness of seafood with the creamy texture of the sauce. Italians love pasta with seafood for its lightness and rich flavor. Shrimp cooked in creamy sauce with lemon juice acquire special tenderness, while spaghetti boiled in fragrant water retains maximum flavor. The light acidity of lemon highlights the sweetness of shrimp, and the creamy sour cream gives a velvety texture. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a romantic evening, filling the atmosphere with notes of Mediterranean gastronomy. The harmonious combination of ingredients makes it versatile – it can be served as a standalone dish or complemented with a fresh salad.
