Important Notes

⚠️

Patting the shrimp dry is an important step to ensure they get a nice sear instead of just steaming in the pan.

⚠️

Do not rinse the pasta after draining. The starches left on the noodles help the creamy sauce adhere better.

⚠️

Using white wine adds a significant depth of flavor to the sauce; it's a small amount but makes a big difference.

⚠️

Avoid boiling the sauce after adding the cheese, as high heat can cause the dairy to separate.
