Pasta with shrimps in oil

4 servings

40 minutes

Shrimp pasta in butter is an elegant and rich dish of Italian cuisine that combines the velvety texture of creamy sauce with the delicate taste of shrimp. It draws from traditional Italian recipes where seafood is paired with simple yet expressive ingredients. The spiciness of garlic and basil adds depth to the flavor, while parmesan contributes a refined creaminess. Served hot, it pairs wonderfully with white wine and fresh bread. This is the perfect treat for both a romantic dinner and a festive feast, as it embodies the spirit of Mediterranean cuisine — simplicity, sophistication, and gastronomic pleasure.
