This is my Hubby's specialty! This is one of the things he loves to cook and can do well!
SERVES 6 -8
Ingredients

- 1 lb spaghetti noodles (more or less, depending on family size)
- 6-8 garlic cloves, according to personal taste, minced
- 1/4 cup butter

- italian seasoning
- fresh ground pepper
- red pepper flakes
- salt
- herb (according to taste)
Directions
1
Boil pasta in water till tender, save 1 cup of pasta water for use later. I always put some oil, salt, and fresh herbs in with my pasta when I boil it. Drain and set aside when done.2
While pasta is boiling, wash shrimp.3
Melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp.4
Let cook till a little pink and starting to curl. Then add garlic.5
Cook 5-7 min., add oil. Continue to stir till shrimp is pink and curled.6
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.7
Keep tossing all ingredients around in skillet till all is incorporated and hot. Enjoy!

This was absolutely delicious! My husband said, "I could eat a big, big bowl of this...everyday!" I loved it too. I'm vegetarian, so I added snowpeas and spinach, set some aside, then added thawed shrimp to my husband's batch. He said the shrimp was good with the snowpeas and spinach. This is a good recipe not only because it is oh-so-tasty, but because it can satisfy veg and nonveg. Makes my life easier! We will definitely eat this often!

This was great! I used fettuccini instead of spagetti. I made a whole 'red lobster' meal for my husband, using this recipe along with Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits Copycat and some coconut shrimp...he loved it! Thanks!

This was a great dish. I used bow tie pasta and cooked shrimp. When adding the pasta water I also added a chicken boullion cube so I left out the added salt. Easy to make and fast to get on the table. Thanks for the recipe.

Delicious pasta dish, very easy to make yet very tasty I made the recipe as stated, using angel hair pasta and adding herbs & chicken base(McCormicks) to the pasta water. We loved the flavor of all the herbs & red pepper flakes. Thank you Jessica, for posting this recipe which I willl be making again & again.
