30 Minute Meal
This 30 minute dish made with fridge, pantry, and garden staples is extraordinary not only because it’s so. insanely. simple. but also because it’s so. insanely. good. What can I say, garlic herb butter tends to accomplish that task!
How to Make This Recipe
Start by making the easy roasted shrimp. Pat 1lb jumbo shrimp (16/20 count) that have been peeled and deveined very dry on paper towels then add them to a half sheet pan and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, dried basil, dried parsley, and garlic powder. Toss with your fingers to coat then spread out on the baking sheet and roast for 8-9 minutes at 400 degrees. Shrimp = DONE!
Right after popping the shrimp in the oven, drop gluten free spaghetti (or regular if you don’t need to eat GF) into salted, boiling water then cook until al dente and drain.
When the pasta has 2 minutes left until al dente, melt butter + extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat then add freshly minced garlic and saute until fragrant, 30 seconds – 1 minute. Try not to pass out from the unmatched blissful scent that is garlic sautéing in butter – swoon!
Once the garlic is golden brown, add the drained pasta plus finely minced fresh herbs. I use an equal combination of parsley, basil, and chopped chives. Toss the ingredients together then season with salt to taste before swirling onto plates.
Top with the roasted shrimp, and dinner is served! I hope you enjoy this simple yet luscious pasta dish – enjoy!
