• While pasta is boiling, wash shrimp.
• Melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp.
• Let cook till a little pink and starting to curl. Then add garlic.
• Cook 5-7 min., add oil. Continue to stir till shrimp is pink and curled.
• Add pasta to skillet. Add 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.
