Creamy Garlic Shrimp Stuffed Shells

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, half of the mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Stir in the cooked shrimp and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Stuff each shell with the shrimp and ricotta mixture and place in a baking dish.
6. In the same skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add heavy cream and stir occasionally for 3-4 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Pour the cream sauce over the stuffed shells. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy hot.

Chef’s Tips

• For added flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the cream sauce.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes into the sauce.
