Easy Shrimp Scampi ™

This is perfect for an easy quick supper. I've used pre cooked shrimp, but you can also use raw shrimp if desired. ™

1 lb  approx. shrimp thawed
1 pkg. thin pasta
2 T each: olive oil, butter
1/ 2 tsp. each: parsley, fresh lemon juice, basil, oregano
1/8 - 1/4 tsp. each: salt, pepper
1 - 2 cloves garlic: crushed and chopped
1/8 - 1/4 c dry white wine or vermouth  Adjust amount needed.

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Thaw shrimp if needed. De vein raw shrimp if needed.

Heat pan to high heat. Lower heat to medium. Add oil, garlic, butter to pan.

Carefully add wine, salt, pepper, herbs, lemon juice and shrimp to pan.  Cook for 3 - 5 min or until shrimp is heated. If using raw shrimp, cook until shrimp is pink 3 - 5 min on both sides or until done.

Serves 4.
