Recipe Notes

What to Serve with
This shrimp spaghetti recipe can stand on its own because it’s already a complete dish. But if you’d like to, serve it with a slice of no yeast bread or low carb biscuits. A side of fresh salad is also another good option. 
How to Store Shrimp Spaghetti
Store leftover garlic shrimp spaghetti in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
As for freezing, I prefer not to freeze it because shrimp that has thawed and cooked may later become chewy. A great alternative is to cook the pasta al dente, drain, let it cool, and then freeze for up to one month.
Once you desire to serve the dish, thaw shrimp and cook the dish using pasta that has thawed in the fridge overnight.
