Description

Savor Garlic Butter Shrimp and Sausage Skillet Pasta—juicy shrimp, smoky sausage, and pasta in a rich garlic butter sauce. Quick, easy, and irresistible!

Ingredients

Scale

8 oz fettuccine or spaghetti

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 lb smoked sausage, sliced

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheeseSalt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sausage slices and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside with the shrimp.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the chicken broth and reserved pasta water, then simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the cooked pasta, shrimp, and sausage back into the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
  7. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic enhances the flavor of the butter sauce for a richer taste.
  • Adjust Spice Level: Add red pepper flakes for heat or tone it down with extra Parmesan for a milder, creamier finish.
