Instructions
Prepare the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside, reserving a cup of the cooking liquid.
Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cooked pasta, along with a splash of the reserved pasta cooking liquid. Toss the pasta to coat it in the garlic-infused butter.
Combine the Shrimp and Pasta: Add the cooked shrimp back to the pan and gently toss everything together, ensuring the shrimp is evenly distributed throughout the pasta. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the shrimp is heated through and the sauce has coated the pasta.
Finish and Serve: Remove the pan from the heat and season the garlic butter shrimp pasta with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley or freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve the dish immediately, while it’s hot and the flavors are at their peak.
