Spaghetti with shrimps in creamy sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, heavy cream will make the sauce richer and thicker. If you prefer a lighter option, half-and-half or whole milk can also work, but the sauce may be less creamy.
Simply omit the shrimp and add more vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers. You can also use plant-based cream for a fully vegetarian version.
Absolutely! Thaw the shrimp completely in the fridge before cooking, and pat them dry to ensure they fry properly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to revive the creaminess.
Diced Roma tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes (chopped) are great alternatives. Adjust quantity to taste.
Use gluten-free spaghetti and ensure all other ingredients (like cream) are gluten-free certified. The rest of the recipe remains the same.
Freezing is not recommended, as the creamy sauce may separate upon thawing. Fresh preparation is best for texture and flavor.
A light green salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables complement the creamy shrimp flavors nicely.
For fewer servings, halve all ingredients. For more, double them, but cook shrimp in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
