Pasta and Garlic Spiced Shrimp

For those who have a taste for shrimp and want to stretch it further, this is a great recipe.  Make as spicy (or not) as you like!



Ingredients:
One pound of uncooked shrimp, de-veined, de-tailed, and cut in half hotdog style
Roughly 2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 cup of white wine, whatever you have left in your fridge
1 package of fettucine or linguine pasta
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions
Start cooking your pasta before you do anything else.  Boil a whole box for about 10 minutes.

While that's cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high with the garlic and the red pepper flakes.  Add in the shrimp when the oil starts to "spit" and stir it until it curls up and turns pink.  Add in white wine.

When pasta has finished its ten minutes, drain thoroughly and add to the skillet, stirring slightly to coat the pasta with the liquid.  Simmer another five minutes or so, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mix in until the Parmesan disappears into the sauce.
