Recipes:
Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta
Ingredients:
12 oz spaghetti or your preferred pasta
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup white wine (optional)
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cook the pasta:
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water for later if needed.
Prepare the shrimp:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Make the garlic butter sauce:
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan with white wine (if using), scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine cook down for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
Combine the pasta and shrimp:
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce. Add a little reserved pasta water if the sauce needs to be thinned.
Stir in the shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes, just to reheat the shrimp.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Enjoy your delicious garlic butter shrimp pasta!
