- The first thing you have to do is to combine all ingredients for the flavored butter "finishing" sauce in a blender or food processor and pulse until well combined.

- I find it very useful to get a small bowl and whisk in well until incorporated just in case I don't feel like pulling out a machine for this.
- STEP 3 :
- Make sure the butter is softer and set aside.
- STEP 4 :
- And please start your shrimp while pasta is boiling.
- STEP 5 :
- Next you need to saute the shrimp, garlic, salt, and cayenne in butter in a large skillet for 5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink. Always remember not to OVERCOOK as the shrimp will become rubbery and tasteless, so please turn off the heat once they become pink).
