How long does it take to cook garlic shrimp pasta?

Hi everyone! I'm excited to whip up some garlic shrimp pasta tonight, but I'm not sure how long it should cook for. Any guidelines on cooking time? I want to get that perfect al dente pasta and succulent shrimp. Thanks for your help!

Hi. Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti is an easy and quick pasta dish for a day menu. It’s a family favorite that I can usually whip up in 15 minutes. Savory, succulent shrimp sizzling in a garlic butter sauce paired with light and airy spaghetti! That's so delicious.

Garlic shrimp pasta cooks quickly, usually taking around 20-25 minutes for the pasta and shrimp to cook and the flavors to meld together.

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions for al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Taste it a minute or two before the time is up to get that perfect texture.Shrimp cook quickly! If peeled and deveined, they should be sautéed for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.Boil your pasta in salted water. While it’s cooking, heat some oil or butter in a pan and sauté your garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook until they’re pink and cooked through. Toss the cooked pasta with the shrimp and garlic, adding a splash of pasta water to help the sauce coat everything.
