Garlic Shrimp Pasta
This sounds really good, a must try for me. Basic ingredients that are normally on hand.
Ingredients
- 500 grams white shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed (or any shrimp you want)
- 500 grams Fettuccine pasta, or spaghetti
- 6-8 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1/4 cup butter, this is 1/4 of a standard block of butter
- olive oil, as needed, a few splashes
- Italian seasoning, to taste
- salt and pepper, to taste
- red chili flakes, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water until tender, save 1 cup of the pasta water then drain the rest and set the pasta aside.
- In a large non stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the shrimp. Let the shrimp cook until starting to turn pink then add the garlic and cook until the shrimp are all pink and cooked through, then add a splash or so of olive oil. Mix together then add the pasta. Add the seasonings to your taste and add about 1/4 cup of the pasta water so that the pasta is not dry but not soaked in liquid either.
- Continue to toss the pasta, using additional pasta water as needed to maintain the consistency you like and is heated through, serve.
Notes
White shrimp at Tesco will cost about 140 Baht/500 grams. Everything else is low cost. For 4 servings, this is about $1.02 per serving. If you get local farmed shrimp, you can reduce the cost.
