Ingredients

• 8 oz of pasta {I used angel hair}
• 1 lbs of large/medium package pre-cooked shrimp, deveined and peeled if needed
• 2 tbps butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp chopped basil or parsley
• 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

• Cook the pasta according to the box directions. Best to leave it al dente. In the meantime, melt the butter in medium/high heat. Add the shrimp and garlic, cook 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice and finish cooking the shrimp until its pink, which will take about 2 minutes. Once the pasta is cooked and drained, add it to a serving bowl. Stir in the olive oil, toss gently to coat {More olive oil may be needed}. Add the parmesan cheese. Pour the shrimp over the pasta and toss once more. Garnish with the basil or parsley and serve immediately.
