When the water starts boiling throw in your pasta noodles and remember to stir occasionally and follow the box instructions. Once your shrimp is defrosted, add the oil, butter and seasonings to a skillet on medium heat to form your sauce. Then add in your shrimp, remembering to stir the shrimp occasionally for about 12 minutes. Drain the pasta and serve it onto the plates. Then, add your shrimp plus sauce on top. And there you have it, a shrimp pasta recipe that only takes about 25 minutes. What more could you ask for?
