Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until reduced by about half, 3-4 minutes. Stir in cream; simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard garlic cloves.

3. Drain pasta. To serve, spoon sauce into shallow dishes. Top with pasta and shrimp and if desired, additional basil.
