4 Tbl butter
4 Tbl extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 pound of 26-30 ct shrimp,

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine or Dry Vermouth
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves


Directions:

While pasta is cooking, Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Saute the garlic for a minute or so.

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm.

Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta. Stir well, season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
