HISTORY
Garlic has been used as both medicine and flavoring for thousands of years — from Ancient Egypt to medieval Europe.
Shrimp pasta dishes have Italian origins, celebrating fresh seafood, olive oil, butter, and garlic. Combining shrimp with garlic butter and pasta is a modern, home-friendly twist on classic Mediterranean flavors, marrying health benefits with comfort and elegance.
FORMATION TIPS
- Use fresh shrimp for best flavor.
- Don’t overcook the shrimp — they become rubbery.
- Adjust garlic to taste; 6 cloves is bold but balanced.
- Reserve pasta water — it’s the secret to a silky sauce.
- Finish with lemon juice — it brightens and balances the richness.
