heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

Prepare pasta al dente and save about half a cup of pasta water.

Heat 1 tablespoon of garlic infused olive oil in a large hex clad pan.

Add shrimp to the pan and season with creole seasoning, salt, and black pepper; cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-3.5 minutes, flipping halfway.

Melt butter in the same pan with the shrimp.

Pour in heavy cream and bring to a light boil, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate flavors.

Gradually add parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.

Add the reserved pasta water to the sauce and mix well.

Introduce the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine.
