Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz pasta (linguine, spaghetti, or penne)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook pasta until al dente, drain, and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add lemon juice, zest, wine or broth, and red pepper flakes. Simmer briefly.
  4. Add shrimp and cook just until starting to turn pink, about 2 minutes.
  5. Combine shrimp mixture with pasta, then stir in parsley and half the Parmesan.
  6. Transfer to baking dish. Top with mozzarella, remaining Parmesan, and breadcrumbs if using.
  7. Bake for 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden. Garnish with parsley and lemon before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute white wine with chicken broth if preferred.
  • Add cherry tomatoes or spinach for extra flavor and color.
  • Use cream or cream cheese for a creamy version.
  • Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter for a crispier topping.
