Boil the pasta in the water until tender, save 1 cup of pasta water for use later. I always put some oil, salt, and fresh herbs in with my pasta when I boil it. Drain and set aside when done.

While the pasta is boiling, wash the shrimp. Melt the butter over medium heat. Add shrimp and let it cook until a little pink and starting to curl. Then add the garlic.

Cook 5-7 min., add oil. Continue to stir till shrimp is pink and curled.

Add the pasta to the skillet. Add the seasonings. Add just enough saved pasta water till it is not dry but not swimming in liquid either. Depending on amount of pasta this requires 1/2 the cup or all of it. Start with adding 1/4 of it then work up from there.

Keep tossing all the ingredients around in the skillet until all is incorporated and hot. Enjoy!
