Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¾ cup shredded Swiss cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound cooked shrimp

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour until a thick paste forms. Whisk in milk gradually until fully combined; bring to a simmer.
Whisk paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes into the sauce. Add Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese a little at a time, whisking constantly, until melted into the sauce, 3 to 5 minutes.
Combine angel hair pasta and shrimp in a large bowl; pour cheese sauce on top.
