📝 Ingredients

• 16 ounces uncooked long pasta ((like fettuccine or spaghetti))
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
• 4 cloves garlic (thin sliced)
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 pound medium-sized shrimp

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt the water and add pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain pasta.
2. 2While pasta is cooking, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the garlic and red pepper flakes for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. 3Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, flip over once. Shrimp should be pink when done cooking. Remove the shrimp and set aside in a bowl.
4. 4Add lemon juice and wine to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Add remaining butter and cook until just melted. Turn off the heat.
