Garlic Shrimp Pasta

I’m blessed beyond measure! My passions are my spiritual growth in God, Family, Cooking for family and friends, photography, and an IC overcomer!

1 lb medium shrimp, de-veined and tails removed

1 lb spaghetti noodles (more or less, depending on family size)

6 to 8 garlic cloves, according to personal taste, minced

¼ cup butter

olive oil (3 drizzles)

italian seasoning

fresh ground pepper

red pepper flakes

salt

herbs (according to taste)

subheading: Directions:

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.

2 While pasta is boiling, wash shrimp.

3 Melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp.

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

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

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 ½ the cup or all of it. Start with adding ¼ of it then work up from there.

7 Keep tossing all ingredients around in skillet till all is incorporated and hot. Enjoy! Via easyrecipes
