1 lb medium to large shrimp, deveined and with the tails removed

1 lb pasta noodles (spaghetti or linguine)

6 to 8 garlic cloves, finely minced

¼ cup of butter

Italian seasoning

Red chilli flakes

Fresh ground pepper

Salt

To make this dish, first add pasta to boiling water and wait until it becomes al dente. Drain the pasta but save 1 cup of pasta water. While the pasta is boiling, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the shrimp turns pink and starts to curl. Add garlic and oil. Add the pasta to the skillet and mix in the seasonings. Slowly add the pasta water. The dish shouldn’t be dry but shouldn’t be swimming in water either. Continue tossing all the ingredients until they’re well incorporated. Sprinkle with herbs and some parmesan cheese and enjoy it hot.
