    List of Ingredients


    • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
    • 3 T butter
    • 3 T extra-virgin olive oil
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 tsp ground white pepper
    • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
    • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
    • juice of 1 lemon
    • 1/4 cup parsley, minced
    • 5 T Italian bread crumbs
    • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
    • salt to taste
    • 1 lb of cooked fettuccine or linguine


    Instructions


    1. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a saute pan. When the mixture is hot, add the garlic, white pepper, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and oregano. Stir well.
    2. Once garlic looks cooked (about 3 minutes), add the shrimp.
    3. Toss in the pan until well coated with the spiced oil. Add the lemon juice and keep tossing over the heat. Quickly add the parsley, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
    4. Toss to coat completely. The shrimp should now be bright pink and cooked through.
    5. Place the pan under the broiler until cheese looks melted, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
    6. Serve over the cooked pasta, with additional Parmesan sprinkled over the top.
