Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta
When I fall off the wagon I do it in the biggest way possible. A week ago I shared a recipe for egg salad using avocado because I was being “more conscious about what I was eating.” And now? Today I am sharing a recipe that has almost a whole stick of butter. Yep, I’ve definitely fallen off the wagon, but if that means landing in a pan of buttery garlic shrimp than I’d say it’s well worth it. Would you like to join me?
This dish is like a big hug – had a tough week? Dog mad at you? Feeling put-upon and misunderstood? Treat yourself to a pan of this buttery goodness – it’s a really great Friday or Saturday night thank goodness the week is finally over dish. Just don’t make it every week – I can’t advocate that much butter consumption. Tempting? Yes! Wise? Noooooo.
I’ll be eating a whole lot of salads to make up for this one, but it’s worth it!
- 4 oz spaghetti
- .75 lb shrimp, deveined and tails removed
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 large clove of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine (I used Chardonnay)
- ½ tablespoon lemon zest
- Juice from half a lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges for serving
- In a large pot heat salted water (should taste like the sea) over high heat. Once boiling add the spaghetti and cook until al dente.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer and cook until they turn opague, about 1-2 minutes per side. Depending on the size of the pan the shrimp may need to be cooked in batches. Once cooked remove from the pan and set aside.
- Next, add 2 tablespoons to the pan. Once melted add the garlic and cook until softened. Lower the heat, if necessary, to avoid browning the garlic.
- Add in the wine, zest, and lemon juice.
- Bring to a boil and allow the mixture to reduce for a minute or so.
- Lower the heat and slowly add in the rest of the butter (1-2 tablespoons at a time). Use a whisk to help the mixture emulsify
- Add the cook shrimp to the sauce and toss to coat
- Sprinkle the parsley over the top
- Add in the cooked spaghetti and, using tongs, toss everything together
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side
