Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta Dish Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Bring a large (5 or 6 quarts) pot of water to a boil and season with 3 tablespoons kosher salt.
  • Cook the pasta according to directions on package, until al-dente (usually about 8 -11 minutes). Save ½ cup of the pasta water out of the pot and set aside, then drain the pasta and transfer to a bowl.
  • While the pasta is cooking, pat the shrimp with a paper towel to dry them. Sprinkle lightly with salt on both sides.
  • I used a large (12-inch) skillet, over medium-high heat. Then I poured in the oil. When it starts to simmer, add the shrimp in one layer. Cook 2 minutes, then turn shrimp over and continue cooking until shrimp turns pink and opaque, about 1 more minute.
  • Add the tomatoes, garlic, butter and chili to the pan and stir. When the butter is melted, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water and swirl around until saucy (add more sauce if needed, just a little at a time).
  • Pour the shrimp and sauce over the pasta. Top with the parsley and Parmesan cheese to taste. Toss gently and serve. Enjoy!
  • TIPS
  • You can squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the whole finished dish for an extra spark of acid and flavor.
