This Cheesy Shrimp and Pasta Bake is a comforting, creamy delight that will bring your family together for a heartwarming meal tonight!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Begin by cooking the pasta. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed shrimp, cream, 1 ½ cups of cheddar cheese, lemon juice (from the lemon), and chopped parsley. Mix everything together until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Once done, remove from oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
