creamy shrimp pasta

This recipe is seriously easy and it is soooooooo delicious!  :) 


Ingredients: 

Olive Oil

1 lb. Pasta of choice (I used whole grain bow-tie pasta)

1Tbsp Sea Salt

4 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter (I used HEB’s You’d Think It’s Butter-tastes delicious without using actual butter)

2 ½ Tbsp. Olive Oil

1 ½ Tbsp. Minced Garlic (Can be substituted with Garlic Powder)

1 lb. Shrimp, peeled and deveined

¼ Tsp. Black Pepper

1 Tbsp. Parsley

¼ Lemon Juice

1/8 Tsp. Red pepper flakes
 

Directions:

Boil a large pot of salted water. Drizzle some olive oil in water and then cook pasta according to directions.

In another large pan melt your butter and olive oil over medium high heat. Pour in your lemon juice. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for about 5 minutes until pink. As shrimp is cooking add your salt, pepper, parsley and red pepper flakes.

When shrimp is cooked add your pasta to the large pot and let simmer for 5 minutes to absorb sauce.

That's it! Simple as that. Let me know if you give it a try!
