Ingredients:

- 1 lb medium shrimp, deveined and tails removed
- 1 lb spaghetti noodles (or depending on family size)
- Italian seasoning
- 6 -8 garlic cloves minced
- fresh ground pepper
- red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup butter
- olive oil
- salt
- herbs (according to taste)
Instructions:
- First, we boil the pasta in water until it is soft, I always add some salt, oil, and fresh herbs to the pasta when I boil it. When finished, reserve a cup of pasta water for later use, drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is boiling, we wash the shrimp.
- Melt the butter over medium heat, then add the red pepper to it, cook a little, then add the shrimp.
- Let it cook until it becomes slightly pink and starts to wrinkle. Then, add garlic.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, then add oil. Keep stirring until the shrimp is pink and rolled up.
- Add the pasta to the shrimp pan, add the seasoning and just add just enough of the pasta water we reserved at the start so it doesn’t dry out, but doesn’t swim in the liquid either. Dim this depending on the amount of pasta, this requires half a cup or more. Start by adding 1/4 and then little by little.
- Stir all ingredients in the skillet until they are all combined and heated through.
- Then serve hot.
