For a richer flavor, use a high-quality European-style butter. Adjust the amount of garlic and red pepper flakes to your preference. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more reserved pasta water. Serve with a crisp green salad and a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions, about 4-5 minutes, or until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. (5 minutes)
02
StepWhile the pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. (1 minute)
03
StepReduce heat to low and add minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic. (1 minute)
04
StepAdd shrimp, Greek seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2-4 minutes. (4 minutes)
05
StepStir in softened cream cheese until melted and fully incorporated into the butter and garlic mixture. (2 minutes)
06
StepPour in heavy cream and milk, stirring until well combined and the sauce is smooth. (1 minute)
07
StepStir in grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy and rich. (1 minute)
08
StepGradually add reserved pasta water, 2 tablespoons at a time, stirring until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. This will help the sauce cling to the pasta. (2 minutes)
09
StepAdd the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat evenly. (1 minute)
10
StepGarnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. (1 minute)

May 23, 2025I tried this last night, and it was amazing! The only thing I changed was adding a little white wine to the sauce. I will definitely make this again.

May 5, 2025I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for extra brightness.
