  • In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook according to the product packaging until al dente.  Reserve at least ½ cup of pasta water for later use. 
  • In a bowl, combine fresh shrimp with 2 teaspoons of Old Bay Seasoning and lemon juice. Mix well. 
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook ½ tablespoon of minced garlic just until fragrant.
  • Add shrimp and cook until it's pink. Remove the shrimp and place it on a plate, then set it aside. 
  • In the same skillet on medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, and cook shallots until translucent. Add 1½ tablespoons of minced garlic and cook until it's fragrant. 
  • Add white wine and scrape up any crispy bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer until the wine is reduced to about a tablespoon. 
  • Add heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning. Stir and let the cheese melt. Add cooked shrimp and parsley, then stir to combine.
  • Lower the heat to a low setting, add the cooked pasta, and toss to coat.
  • Add some of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed. Adjust the seasoning with more Old Bay Seasoning, heavy cream, salt, and/or black pepper if necessary. Turn off the heat and serve with extra parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley.
