Instructions

Step 1

1 Boil pasta in water till tender, save 1 cup of pasta water for use later. I always put some oil, salt, and fresh herbs in with my pasta when I boil it. Drain and set aside when done.

Step 2

2 While pasta is boiling, wash shrimp.

Step 3

3 Melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp.

Step 4

4 Let cook till a little pink and starting to curl. Then add garlic.

Step 5

5 Cook 5-7 min., add oil. Continue to stir till shrimp is pink and curled.

Step 6

6 Add pasta to skillet. Add seasonings. Add just enough saved pasta water till it is not dry but not swimming in liquid either. Depending on amount of pasta this requires 1/2 the cup or all of it. Start with adding 1/4 of it then work up from there.
