Creating Marry Me Shrimp Pasta can be straightforward if you follow these easily manageable steps:

1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add Tomatoes: Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until they soften slightly.
5. Make Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
6. Combine: Return the shrimp to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta and toss until everything is well coated with the sauce.
7. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
8. Finish with Basil: Just before serving, mix in the chopped basil for added freshness.
9. Serve: Place in bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Following these steps closely will ensure that your Marry Me Shrimp Pasta turns out wonderfully every time.
