Avoid overcooking the shrimp; they cook quickly and can become rubbery.

Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Keep the heat medium-low to prevent the cream from curdling.

Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the creamy sauce and shrimp. Toss everything together to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and extra Parmesan.
