Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water, stirring now and then, until tender but still slightly firm, about 12 minutes.

While the spaghetti cooks, warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic until soft but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook until opaque, about 3 minutes.

Add the wine, lower the heat, and pour in the cream. Let it simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper.
