Garlic Shrimp & Pasta

This is a really tasty, light meal. Perfect for warmer weather and paired with a salad.

1 lb. uncooked linguini or spaghetti pasta

3 Tbsp. butter

1/2 c. dry white cooking wine (sherry is good too)

2 tsp. minced garlic

1/4 tsp. dried parsley

1/4 tsp. dried oregano

splash of heavy cream (opt.)

salt and pepper to taste

1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled & deveined (I also remove the tails), thawed

freshly shredded parmesan, to serve

1. Cook pasta according to package instructions.

2. Meanwhile, melt butter in large, flat saucepan over low heat. Then add wine, seasonings, and cream and increase heat to medium. Simmer 3-5 minutes.

3. Increase temp. to medium-high, add shrimp, and cook 3-4 minutes. (Don't overcook; you want them to be just slightly pink.)

4. Serve immediately.

***Makes 3-4 servings.
