Step 1
Cook the 8 oz spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add 4 sliced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the 1/2 lb shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with 1/4 cup reserved pasta water. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the pasta.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan and 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan if desired.
