Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness. Serve the pasta hot with a side of crusty bread to soak up the buttery sauce, and pair it with a crisp salad for balance.
Tips
- Choose firm, large shrimp for the best texture—they hold up well during baking and stay juicy.
- For extra depth, add a small splash of white wine when cooking the shrimp before combining with the pasta.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, mix in a few tablespoons of heavy cream or cream cheese with the pasta before baking.
- To reheat leftovers, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10–12 minutes, or until heated through.
