Sometimes the best things in life are the simplest. Like this One Pan Garlic Parmesan Shrimp & Spaghetti recipe — yes, I said ONE pan. I get a lot of questions about my one pan recipes — “are you sure it only takes one pan?” “how does all that cook in one pan”. Yes, it will all cook in one pan!

I don’t know about you, but oftentimes I want to make something simple AND delicious. Back in college, simple was anything I could microwave. Well, times have changed—I’m 5 years removed from college and my body doesn’t appreciate that stuff anymore!

Shrimp are so easy to cook with, you can season them with almost anything and they cook quickly — another reason I love seafood!

This One Pan Garlic Parmesan Shrimp and Spaghetti recipe also makes a great meal prep lunch for the week. Throw in a veggie, like tomatoes and have yourself a shrimp tomato pasta.

You can play around with different proteins, too. Try making a one pot pasta and chicken by swapping the shrimp for some cubed chicken breast!
