Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta

1Cook the linguine pasta (8 oz) according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic (4 cloves) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper (¼ tsp), red pepper flakes (¼ tsp), paprika (¼ tsp), oregano, basil, and thyme. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.

4Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the shrimp. Toss to combine and coat the pasta with the garlic (4 cloves) butter sauce.

5Squeeze the lemon (1) juice over the pasta and shrimp. Stir in chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese (¼ cup). Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

6Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

7Serve the garlic (4 cloves) butter shrimp pasta hot, garnished with additional parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
