For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet after the garlic is fragrant. Don't overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. Cook just until they are pink and opaque. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness. Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta. Linguine or fettuccine would also work well. For a richer flavor, use homemade Alfredo sauce instead of store-bought.
