Method
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions. Reserve a little of the cooking water before draining.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil. Add the shrimp and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Sauté for about 30 seconds per side, until lightly golden. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- Roughly chop the onion and sauté in the same pan with the garlic until soft.
- Add the cream and let it simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Stir in about 30ml of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
- Return the pasta and shrimp to the pan, toss to coat well, and season to taste.
- Top with Parmesan, parsley, and freshly ground pepper.
Tip: To make the sauce extra glossy and emulsified, toss in a small cube of cold butter at the end, off the heat and stir gently until melted.
