Recipe View 5 mins Combine and Serve: In a large bowl, gently toss the cooked pasta, sautéed shrimp, and steamed broccoli. Pour the luscious cream sauce over the mixture, ensuring everything is well coated. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce just before serving.
If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be substituted. Use about 1 teaspoon.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference for spice.
To prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery, be careful not to overcook them. They should be pink and opaque when done.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor.
