Pasta in creamy garlic sauce with shrimp and sweet pepper is an exquisite dish that combines the tenderness of seafood, the velvety texture of the creamy sauce, and the aroma of fresh herbs. This recipe is inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, where pasta serves as the perfect base for rich flavor combinations. A light hint of lemon enhances the freshness of the shrimp, while sweet pepper adds a soft sweetness and a slight crunch. Parmesan gives a rich, salty flavor, and basil and parsley refresh the composition. This dish is perfect for a romantic dinner or a cozy family evening. The wonderful combination of textures and aromas makes it a true gastronomic delight, while its simplicity in preparation allows you to enjoy culinary magic without extra hassle.
