By shygirl

• 8 oz. uncooked linguine or fettuccine
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 1 tbsp. olive oil

• ½ cup (2 oz.) grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain
2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When butter is melted, add shrimp and cook until opaque in the center, about 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in sour cream, salt and pepper until well blended. Remove pan from the heat and add cheese; mix gently.
