1 pound Prepared pasta (Angel Hair, Linguine, Spaghetti) regular or gluten-free: cooked al dente according to package directions
2 tablespoons Canola or Vegetable oil
4 tablespoons Unsalted butter divided in half
4 cloves Garlic minced
1 ¼ pound large or jumbo uncooked Shrimp peeled and deveined, tails on or off
1 cup dry white wine or Chicken Broth
¼ cup freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
1/8 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
Salt & pepper to taste

Melt oil and 2 tablespoons butter together over medium-high heat.
Cook garlic until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
Add shrimp. Cook 1-2 minutes per side (until shrimp is pink)
Immediately pour in white wine or broth, lemon juice and red pepper flakes.
Cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Shrimp will be opaque and light pink/white and wine should have reduced by half (or almost half). Don’t overcook shrimp.
Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the parsley.
Serve over hot cooked pasta.
Garnish with lemon slices and additional red pepper flakes (if desired).
