Notes
I highly recommend you to prepare the ingredients set first before you start cooking, and the rest of this garlic butter shrimp pasta recipe cooks so fast. The shrimp are cooked in a mixture of butter and oil combination to prevent the butter from burning. Be careful with cooking shrimp, not overcook the shrimp. They only require a few minutes of cooking and if you overcook them they will get chewy. Cook until they are opaque pink in color.
