    Here's a simple and delicious recipe for *Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta* that you can whip up in under 30 minutes:

     

    Ingredients:

    - 8 oz (225g) pasta (linguine or fettuccine work well)

    - 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

    - 4 cloves garlic, minced

    - 4 tbsp (60g) unsalted butter

    - 2 tbsp olive oil

    - 1/4 cup (60ml) white wine (optional)

    - 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth

    - 1 tsp lemon juice

    - Salt and pepper to taste

    - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

    - Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

     

    Instructions:

    1. *Cook the Pasta*:

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and then drain.

     

    2. *Sauté the Shrimp*:

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

     

    3. *Make the Garlic Butter Sauce*:

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (don’t let it burn).

     

    4. *Add Wine and Broth*:

    Pour in the white wine (if using) and chicken broth. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

     

    5. *Combine and Serve*:

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the garlic butter sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water. Stir in the lemon juice. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together.

     

    6. *Garnish and Enjoy*:

    Top with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.

     

    Tips:

    - For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

    - You can substitute shrimp with scallops or chicken if you prefer.

    - Pair with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
