INGREDIENTS NEEDED :
– Uncooked large shrimp: 1 pound (peeled and deveined)
– Garlic: 5 cloves (minced)
– Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
– Cayenne pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
– Butter: 1/2 cup

#Flavored Butter “finishing” Sauce:

– Feta cheese: 1/2 tablespoon  (crumbled)
– Garlic: 1 clove (minced)

– Olive oil: 1 teaspoon

STEPS TO MAKE IT :
STEP 1 :
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.
STEP 2 :
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).
STEP 6 :
Now that the shrimp are cooked, you’ll want to add the flavored butter, coat shrimp.
STEP 7 :
And that’s it, stir in lime juice and parsley and serve with pasta (or toss together with pasta) & ENJOY !!!
