Ingredients

Pot of boiling water for the pasta

2 servings fresh pasta--I used tortelloni, but I would have used linguine too--whatever size a serving is for you

10-12 oz frozen raw or fresh raw shrimp (of course it's easier if they are precooked, but it makes an enormous difference, trust me)

1 whole shallot

2 large cloves garlic

3 T butter (don't wimp out and use margarine or olive oil here)

1 c good white wine, the same as you are planning to drink with this meal

salt to taste

Directions

Chop garlic and shallot finely (if you have a mezzaluna, now is the time to bring it out)

Start pasta boiling--better use a timer, because you are going to be busy

Saute garlic and shallot in 2 T butter until they do not smell raw; set aside

Peel shrimp (it's not that hard, just twist the tail and pull gently, then rub off the rest of the shell)

Add shrimp to garlic-shallot mixture and saute until pink and cooked through, stirring the while

When the shrimp are almost cooked, add the wine and let it boil up and cook until the alcohol smell is gone.

You will have drained the pasta, or will be about to drain it; don't drain it too much, as a slop of the cooking liquid makes a big difference in the sauce. Place the pasta in a warmed serving dish and toss with the remaining 1 T butter

Add shrimp mixture to the pasta and serve

We had asparagus alongside this, and they were very good rolled in the pasta sauce.
