1:20
best for this dish all right let's get
1:22
cooking start by heating a large skillet
1:24
over medium heat a good skillet is key
1:26
to getting a nice sear on the shrimp add
1:28
your butter and olive oil let them melt
1:30
together and get nice and hot once the
1:33
butter has melted and the oil is hot
1:35
toss in your garlic the aroma will be
1:37
incredible saute it for about a minute
1:39
you want it to be fragrant but make sure
1:41
it doesn't burn burnt garlic can ruin
1:43
the dish now add your shrimp to the
1:46
skillet make sure they are in a single
1:48
layer for even cooking lay them out in a
1:51
single layer and cook for about 2
1:53
minutes on each side or until they're
1:55
pink and opaque overcooked shrimp can
1:57
become rubbery so keep an eye on them
2:00
while the shrimp is cooking it's a good
2:02
time to get your pasta boiling use a
2:04
large pot of salted water follow the
2:06
package instructions for alente
2:08
perfection alente pasta has a slight
2:10
bite to it which is perfect for this
2:12
dish once the shrimp is cooked remove
2:14
them from the skillet and set them aside
2:17
this prevents them from overcooking
2:18
while we finish the sauce in the same
2:20
skillet pour in the white wine or
2:22
chicken broth this will delaze the pan
2:25
and pick up all the flavorful bits stuck
2:27
to the bottom let it simmer for a couple
2:29
of minutes scraping up all those
2:31
delicious bits from the bottom of the
2:33
pan this step is crucial for building

2:38
lemon juice and a bit of salt and pepper
2:39
to taste adjust the seasoning as needed
2:42
stir everything together and then return
2:44

2:47
up all that goodness for another minute
2:49
let them soak up all that goodness for
2:51
another minute this ensures the shrimp
2:53
are fully infused with the flavors of
2:55
the sauce by now your pasta should be
2:57
ready drain it well to avoid watering
2:59
