List of Ingredients




8 ounces dry pasta
1/2 cup olive oil (as good a quality as you can afford, preferably extra vigin)
1 large onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1 cup white wine, any type, though not sweet (but again, as good as you can afford)
6 tablespoons butter
1 pound precooked shrimp, preferably the jumbo size, thawed
salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Optional: parsley, lemon, paprika, etc.

Start salted water boiling for pasta; add your pasta. Heat olive oil. Saute garlic and onions (don’t let them brown) over high heat until the onions start to turn clear. Add wine, turn to medium heat and reduce for 5 minutes; the alcohol will evaporate. Add shrimp; heat till warmed through. Stir in the butter until melted. Turn heat to low. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover until the pasta is ready. Serve over the pasta.

Notes: This recipe is very flexible. Vegetarians can omit the meat and throw in vegetables. Carnivores can also throw in other meats, such as cooked white fish, lobster, turkey, or chicken. Be adventurous by adding tomatoes or pea pods. Garnish with parsley, cilantro, or lemon slices. If you are not a wine drinker, substitute low sodium chicken or vegetable broth.
