Notes
Leave Tails on Shrimp: For the best flavor, I recommend leaving the tails on the shrimp as it will add flavor to the pasta sauce. The tails are easy to remove when you eat the dish. Garlic: I like to slice the garlic for the butter sauce which imparts a milder flavor. If you want more intense garlic flavor you can mince the garlic cloves. Wine: Use a good quality white wine, one that you would drink yourself as it is being used to flavor the sauce. Don't Overcook Shrimp: Make sure not to overcook the shrimps. Only cook for 4-6 minutes until they have turned pink, then finish the dish and serve. Make Ahead: This dish that is best served freshly made, straight from the pan. If you try and make the dish ahead of time and warm it up, you risk overcooking the shrimps and they will become tough.
