Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Patting the shrimp dry is the secret to preventing them from becoming rubbery and steamed.
  • Use butter as it forms the base of the sauce's flavor profile.
  • Do not overcook the garlic; it should be aromatic and golden, never dark brown or bitter.
  • Add a splash of pasta water at the end if you want a more cohesive sauce for noodles.
