SHRIMP SKIMPY RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• If the shrimp is frozen, I do a "quick thaw" by soaking in water (takes 10 minutes) Cook pasta, in salted water, according to directions. Drain pasta, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and saute shrimp, until they just turn pink (no more than 2 to 3 minutes). Overcooked shrimp turns tough! Remove shrimp and set aside (I put mine in a lightly warmed oven) Add the rest of the olive oil and butter. Add garlic and cook, until just fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the wine and cook for about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock; cook at medium heat until slightly reduced (3 to 5 minutes). Return the shrimp to the skillet. Add the pasta and combine; turn off heat. Note: if the pasta appears too dry or stick, add a little pasta water to moisten. Add fresh parsley and parmesan cheese.
