Recipe: Garlic Butter Shrimp

First recipe time! This one was tasty, but maybe a bit bland the way it was prepared. Will definitely spice it a bit more the next time I make it, or try adding some wine.

Ingredients

1 lb. shrimp, uncooked
1 package pasta, preferably linguine or spaghetti
~ 1 stick butter
Minced garlic
Parmesan cheese

Shell the shrimp, if unshelled.

Heat butter and garlic on a skillet until butter is melted. Mix well. Add shrimp to pan, cook until done - they will be opaque and mostly red/white.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Drain it, put it back in the pot, and pour everything from the skillet on top of it. Mix thoroughly. Top with Parmesan cheese to taste.


Like I said, it was delicious. I'd say try adding something other than butter to cook the shrimp in. The butter was good, don't get me wrong, but a dry white wine or something of that sort would probably make the sauce a little tastier. In addition, adding some more spices beyond garlic could make it more delicious. Some salt and pepper would not go amiss, nor would any of the major herbs, i.e. oregano, basil, and whatnot.

And now it is time to go to sleep. If I'm still motivated enough tomorrow, I will probably post something about the presidential debate.
