Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 12 ounces linguine or spaghetti
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add the shrimp to the sauce, cooking just until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Combine the cooked pasta with the shrimp and sauce, gently mixing to coat.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
  10. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
