Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat large skillet until hot on medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil - it should run easily but not sizzle or burn. Add shrimp to the skillet, making sure it doesn't crowd, sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes over shrimp. Cook shrimp, stirring once or twice, on medium heat, about 3-4 minutes total, until pink in color.
  • Add minced garlic, chopped cilantro, chicken stock, white wine, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice to the shrimp. Reheat gently on medium heat, stirring to combine, for about 1 minute. Remove shrimp from the skillet.
  • Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain.
  • Add pasta to the skillet with sauce. Mix to coat. Taste, and add more salt if need.
  • Add shrimp back on top of pasta. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
