Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti

This Spaghetti dish with Shrimp is our family favorite and makes a great dinner without any fancy cooking. I just love garlic and use lots and lots of chopped garlic in this dish. You may adjust the amount of garlic as per your preference. Another unusual ingredient used in this dish is chopped coriander leaves. I was hesitant about using it initially but was quite surprised to see the outcome.  I urge all of you to try this combination to discover a completely new flavor.




Ingredients:

  • Shrimp / Prawns - Medium size, 12-14
  • Spaghetti / Noodles - 2 Packs
  • Milk - 2 cups
  • Garlic - 1, whole, peeled and chopped
  • Chopped cilantro - 1/2 cup
  • Butter
  • Olive oil
  • Grated Cheese - 1/3 cup
  • Salt, Pepper to taste
  • A dash of chili flakes

Cook the spaghetti following package directions and drain. Add a spoonful of olive oil and keep aside.
Place the butter and oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the peeled shrimp with sprinkle of salt and pepper and stir for about 5 minutes, until the shrimp turns opaque. Transfer to a dish and keep covered.



In the same skillet, heat the garlic and after 30 seconds the cilantro. Add extra olive oil to the skillet if needed. Sauté for 2 minutes or garlic is just started turning brown. Sprinkle chilli flakes.



Add the milk, salt, and chili flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add the grated cheese.



Add the shrimp and mix to incorporate. Cook for 30 seconds. Adjust the seasoning.



Add the spaghetti and mix to incorporate. Cook for 2 minutes or the milk is reduced.



Transfer to a serving dish and  Enjoy!
