Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

6 cloves of garlic, sliced as thinly as possible

dash of Old Bay seasoning

dash of sea salt

dash of fresh ground black pepper

Enough pasta for 2 servings (about 4 ounces of spaghetti or linguini or fettuccini)

10 jumbo shrimp or prawns, raw, shells removed and de-veined

1 or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, if desired

Fresh grated good quality Parmesan cheese

Directions

About 1 hour before serving, place the olive oil and butter in a large skillet; add sliced garlic and seasonings to the pan.

Simmer at a VERY LOW heat to allow the garlic and seasonings to infuse into the oil and butter. Keep the temperature very low - you do not want to brown the garlic.

When ready to prepare the meal, remove shells from shrimp and de-vein, if necessary; set them aside.

Prepare pasta as directed on package.

While pasta is boiling, turn the heat up a bit on the oil/butter mixture and add the shrimp in a single layer.

Cook shrimp until done, which should only take about 2 minutes max per side. I have found that once I flip the shrimp in the pan, I cook the other side only for 1 minute longer then remove them to a plate and cover them - the heat will continue to cook them, without over-cooking them and making them tough.

Drain pasta and add it to the oil/butter in the pan; add the shrimp.

Toss pasta and shrimp to coat with the oil and butter mixture.

Place pasta and shrimp on serving plate and top with fresh chives and parmesan; serve immediately.
