Garlic & Olive Oil Shrimp Pasta

This recipe uses ingredients that you most likely already have in your kitchen.  Frozen shrimp are the highlight of this pasta dish and it's a nice change up from the usual marinara sauce.  Make this pasta dish for dinner and your guests will think you picked up carry out from Olive Garden (minus the AWESOME bread sticks of course).

INGREDIENTS:
12 shrimp - peeled and deveined  
1/2 box Spaghetti
3-4 Cloves garlic minced
3 Tbs. Butter
3 Tbs. Olive Oil
1/2 Cup white wine
Parmesan for grating
* Yields 2-3 servings

1.  Begin by cooking the pasta according to the box.  In a large pan heat up the butter and oil.  Add the garlic and let it saute for a few minutes, being careful not to let it burn.

2.  Add in the shrimp and let them cook until almost fully pink.  Add in the 1/2 cup of white wine and turn the heat up to high.  Cook the wine for a few minutes until it has reduced by half. 

3.  Top spaghetti with shrimp and garlic butter sauce.  Top with grated parmesan and parsley.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
