Shrimp Pasta

Shrimp is one of those things that if you buy it on sale, you can freeze it for a pretty long time. A month ago I did just that. I bought a pound of shrimp and kept in its original wrapping and froze it. Saturday night I was able to pull it out for a quick supper with items from my pantry.

3 -6 cloves garlic (this sounds like a lot but will flavor the shrimp and pasta)

1 lb. shrimp

1 lemon or lemon juice (to taste)

1/4 c. white wine (optional, but really adds to the dish)

1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

3 Tbsp. butter

Cooked Pasta - spaghetti, linguini, or similar pasta type works best

salt and pepper to taste

Heat pan and add olive oil. Saute' finely minced garlic in the pan. Place pealed shrimp in hot pan. Add salt and pepper to taste. Saute' until cooked through. Add the wine, lemon juice, and butter. Combine all ingredients. Add pasta to the pan and toss. Serve with crusty bread and fresh parmesan cheese.
