  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low, add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, and toss to combine with the shrimp.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat, pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, and quickly toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of white wine to the shrimp while cooking.
  • Ensure the skillet is off the heat before adding the egg mixture to prevent scrambling.
