Ingredients
  

  • 250 g pasta of your choice
  • 250 g shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 6 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 3 cloves garlic unpeeled, smashed (for shrimps)
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic (for the sauce)
  • 400 g cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp italian herbs
  • 3 tbsp parsley
  • salt, pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Shrimp:
    Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    Add smashed garlic cloves and chili flakes to the oil, allowing them to infuse the oil for about a minute.
    Carefully add the peeled shrimp to the skillet, allowing them to cook until golden and aromatic, about 4 minutes on each side. Once done, set aside.
  • Sauce:
    In the same skillet, add 2-3 tablespoonsolive oil.
    Cook the chopped garlic and onion until translucent and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
    Introduce the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, allowing them to soften and release their juices, about 10 minutes.
    Stir in the tomato paste and white wine, allowing them to meld with the tomatoes and onions for another 5 minutes.
    Add the heavy cream, and season with salt, pepper and italian herbs to taste. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  • Bringing It All Together:
    While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
    Add the parsley, cooked pasta and shrimp to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together until well coated.
    Serve hot with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery and tough. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque, about 4 minutes on each side, depending on their size.
The sauce should coat the pasta evenly and have a creamy consistency. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little pasta cooking water or additional white wine.
