Garlic Shrimp Pasta

I first tasted this pasta many years ago while living in Italy. We were vacationing on a small island just off of Rome and the chef had just visited the docks and returned with a bag of fresh shrimp. He put the pasta on to boil, cleaned and chopped the shrimp, and added a little butter, white wine, garlic and red pepper. Read more It was delicious, similar to a shrimp scampi type of dish. I have made this simple recipe many times since, and it always brings back memories of that day. Since you chop the shrimp anyway, don't buy the large expensive kind. Small to medium sized are just fine! See less
