1 Cook pasta in water until tender, reserving 1 cup pasta water for later. I always add a little oil, salt, and fresh herbs to my pasta when cooking. Drain and set aside when done.
2 While pasta is cooking, wash shrimp.
3 Melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp.
4 Cook until slightly pink and beginning to curl. Then add garlic.
5 Cook for 5-7 minutes, adding oil. Continue stirring until shrimp are pink and curled. 6 Add noodles to the pan. Add seasonings. Add just enough of the reserved pasta water until it is not dry but not floating in liquid either. Depending on the amount of pasta, you may need half a cup or the whole amount. Start with 1/4 and increase the amount as you go.
7 Stir all ingredients in the pan until well combined and hot.
Enjoy your meal ❤
