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.
