6. 1/2 lb shrimp 
7. 1/2 tbsp paprika 
8. 1/2 tbsp garlic powder 
9. 1/2-1 tbsp of oil (shrimp marinade)  
10. 1 tsp black pepper 
11. 1 tsp salt

Directions: 

1. Boil water and add in salt. Add pasta till al dente. 
2. In a separate mixing bowl, mix shrimp with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and oil. 
3. Mince garlic and shallots. Grate Parmesan and keep on the side. 
4. Get a pan on a medium heat, add in oil and sear shrimp for 2 minutes on each side. 
5. In the same pan on medium heat, add in butter and sauté garlic and shallots. 
6. After garlic and shallots are fragrant, add in heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until combined. 
7. After combined, turn the flame to low and add in parmesan. Mix well till fully combined and smooth. 
8. Salt and Pepper to taste. This is a good time to taste and adjust your sauce. Feel free to add more Parmesan here if you like as well. 
9. Add in shrimp and pasta into the sauce and mix while flame is still low so the sauce can stick to the pasta. 
10. Optional: Add in some pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Mine was fine but this is an option to loosen up the sauce. 
11. Top with parsley and serve.

Note: At step 8 when salting, remember you have more salt coming in from the pasta and shrimp. Do not over salt here.
