Cover the pot and allow the water to boil.

Once boiling, add the pasta and cover again, cooking for about 7 minutes until al dente.

Drain the hot water from the pasta and let it sit without rinsing it with cold water.

In a skillet, add some unsalted butter and then add the shrimp.

Season the shrimp with Obey seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and lemon pepper.

Cook the shrimp until they start to turn pink, then flip them over to avoid rubberiness.

Add a little more butter and the remaining seasoning to the shrimp.

Sprinkle paprika on the shrimp for color and flavor.

Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add half a tablespoon of minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour in some milk and then add heavy cream, stirring to combine.

Add seasoned salt, paprika, parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder to the sauce and stir well.

Add parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until melted.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.

Add cream cheese to the sauce to make it thick and creamy, stirring until melted.

Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir to coat the pasta evenly.

Let the pasta simmer on low until the sauce thickens.

Optionally, add the shrimp back into the skillet or place them on top for presentation.
